Atmos Tree and TCIA Join Forces
Planting 100:1
Atmos Tree and the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) partnered at the 2024 TCI Expo in Baltimore to make a significant environmental impact. This year, 100 trees were planted to offset the environmental footprint of the Expo’s demo tree.
What Is the TCIA?
The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) is a leading organization in arboriculture, dedicated to advancing tree care businesses and professionals through safety, education, and advocacy. TCIA offers training programs, certification opportunities, and resources to help arborists improve their skills and stay current with industry standards. By promoting professionalism and safety, TCIA helps arborists deliver high-quality tree care services to their communities.
The Role of the Demo Tree
A highlight of the TCI Expo, the demo tree serves as a hands-on teaching tool for arborists. It allows attendees to watch live demos, explore new tools, and participate in seminars with industry leading experts. The demo tree plays a critical role in educating arborists and showcasing innovations indoors!
Where Are the Trees Planted?
The 100 trees planted to offset the demo tree have been added to Atmos Tree’s overall planting totals as part of the Arborist Alliance’s efforts. These trees are planted in areas selected for their environmental need and potential impact. Each plantation is carefully chosen by Atmos Tree to maximize benefits for not only our environment but also everyone involved.

What Is the Arborist Alliance?
The Atmos Tree Alliance is a growing network of environmentally conscious arborists who are committed to planting more trees than they remove with the 2:1 tREeCYCLE program. Alliance members collect small recycling fees when they remove a tree for their clients and contribute towards offsite plantations to offset the impact of their removals.
Why Partnerships Like This Matter
The collaboration between TCIA and Atmos Tree highlights how partnerships can amplify efforts to protect the environment. TCIA’s dedication to education and sustainability aligns with initiatives like this, showing how the tree care industry can lead the way in creating a greener future. Together, our organizations demonstrate that responsible tree care goes beyond simply removing trees. It’s about making a positive, lasting impact on the planet.
