Athena Beshur on Being an SMA Member "I found out about SMA when I became an ISA certified arborist. Having this community of like- minded professionals is the first and foremost benefit of belonging to SMA. I also appreciate the articles and publications, which are easy to find on the website. In general, I feel supported through the standards set by SMA and know that I can con- tinue to be the best arborist and urban forestry designer by following these protocols of excellence." Athena Beshur and colleagues are featured in this video about the tree inventories underway in Santa Fe. SavATree can help you look at the distribution of tree canopy across your city and relate it to the biophysical and social environment.
