The Tree Fund Endowment Campaign

Tim Gamma, a TREE Fund trustee, and his brother, Tom, wanted to honor their father’s hard work and dreams for the industry by establishing the Frank E. Gamma, Sr. Arboricultural Training Fund.

“My father has always credited the ISA and NAA, as he still likes to call it, with providing the training and seminars that he needed to excel in the business,” says Tim. “We’re always looking for more trained workers in our field. We want to inspire young arborists to get the training they need and help to make it more affordable for them by providing grants to local or regional arborist organizations who offer courses and seminars.”
