FROM THE EDITOR
Let Us Be Your Guide
We have not published a print buyer's guide, directory or power source in
Arbor Age in more than a decade. However, as part of our refocused efforts
to grow the magazine and be your one-stop source for industry information,
we felt it appropriate to kick off 2014 with a buyer's guide issue.
Only those companies who responded to our call for information are
included in this edition, so this is by no means presented as the be-all
end-all directory of every company in the tree care industry. But the fi ne
turnout of industry manufacturers and suppliers has ensured that this
issue contains in-depth information about the key companies from which
to buy.
Our coverage kicks off with the company-by-company Manufacturer/
Supplier Index beginning on page 10. It includes contact information for the
manufacturers and suppliers, as well as an overview of each company and a
list of the product lines offered.
Following the Manufacturer/Supplier Index is our reverse-lookup
Product/Equipment Index (beginning on page 21). This index is sorted by
product category and lists the companies offering those product lines.
In addition to the buyer's guide portion of this issue, you will fi nd a list of
this year's industry events on page 23.
The buyer's guide will be a continuously evolving directory online at
www.ArborAge.com with a goal toward growing the print edition to an even
more in-depth guide in the future.
We hope that this issue serves as a handy quick-reference guide to your
buying needs; but please be sure to check out our website, including our
Product Portal page, for continued updates of manufacturers, suppliers and
their offerings.
If you are a manufacturer or supplier, and would like to be included in
future versions of the Arbor Age Buyer's Guide, both online and in print,
please visit www.ArborAge.com/BuyersGuideAA or contact me with any
questions.
2014 and beyond
In case you didn't see our January/February digital edition, I would
like to point out that we here at Arbor Age
are changing our editorial approach for 2014
and beyond. Rather than seven print edi-
tions for 2014, we will now feature 11 total
issues (six print editions and five stand-alone
digital editions), with a goal of increasing
the number of both print and digital issues
even further in 2015. We will also be provid-
ing more in-depth editorial coverage of the
arborist market.
If you are interested in providing articles,
pictures or other editorial content, please contact
me at jkmitta@specialtyim.com.
