What happens when six arborists come down from the trees to step behind the mic? Find out by listening to this special episode of stories by tree professionals told LIVE in front of an audience at the annual conference of the New England Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture. Where does the adrenaline come from? What barriers have been climbed? What drives them, ropes and harness in hand? Hear what arborists say about defining moments in their careers, their struggles, and what they love about their profession.GuestsHeidi ShingletonArboristDirigo Tree ServiceFreeport, MEDavid AndersonArboristMayer Tree ServiceEssex, MAJune MoulisStudent, Urban Forestry and Arboriculture ConcentrationUMASS AmherstTom MarinoCertified ArboristSavATreeNorwalk, CTLindsay WatkinsStrafford County ForesterUNH Cooperative ExtensionDurham, NHRich CartierNortheast Territory ManagerRainbow EcoscienceMilford, MAStories told on location at "The Canopy Connection: 2025 New England Chapter ISA Annual Conference and Trade Show," Southbridge, MA, October 7, 2025. Music"Not Long Now," FalconerTheme Music"This Old Tree," Diccon Lee, www.deeleetree.comArtworkDahn Hiuni, www.dahnhiuni.com/homeWebsitethisoldtree.showTranscripts available.Follow onFacebook or Instagram This Old Tree podcast is a sponsored project of New England ISA.
