Explore The Wisdom Of Trees was founded by Mark James, a Board Certified Master Arborist with more than five decades of experience caring for trees and educating tree owners. Mark earned his Master Arborist certification in 2005—the highest credential in the industry—and has continued to deepen his knowledge and expertise far beyond that benchmark. For 43 years, he owned and operated a tree care company, spending over 50,000 hours climbing, inspecting, pruning, and improving tree structure to prevent failure and extend tree life.

For the past 30 years, Mark has also worked as a consulting arborist and instructor, teaching classes to other professionals in the field. Now, he's channeling that wealth of knowledge into a transformational course designed specifically for tree owners. His mission is simple but profound: to provide the best, clearest, and most useful tree care education available anywhere on the planet.

This course goes beyond tips and tricks. It teaches you to interpret the language of trees, dispel myths and misinformation, and adopt science-based practices that truly support tree health. Whether you're a homeowner, property manager, or steward of green spaces, you'll gain the clarity, confidence, and empowerment to protect your trees and demand excellence from the professionals you hire. Together, we can transform urban forestry—one educated tree owner at a time.
