What Is the Wildfire Risk Reduction Qualification? 

The WRRQ qualification, developed by Texas A&M and promoted by the Georgia Forestry Commission, is a specialized training program designed for ISA Certified Arborists. It focuses on identifying wildfire risks and implementing scientifically proven mitigation techniques. From tree pruning and selective removals to landscape adjustments and property modifications, this service is tailored to protect your home and surroundings. The program reflects the principles of the nationally recognized Firewise USA® initiative, which has been embraced by communities across the country.
