As a service to its members, the CTPA office
will forward to CT DEP reports on tree work that is being done by individuals
who are not licensed as arborists, or who are not under the supervision of a
licensed arborist. The CTPA does not make a judgment on the validity of
these complaints. Its role is simply to forward the complaints on to the
CT DEP, Division of Pesticide Management. That is the entity in the state,
along with the Tree Protection Examining Board, responsible for maintaining the
integrity of the arborist license.
In forwarding reports to the DEP, CTPA does not reveal the
name of the individual filing the complaint unless it is specifically allowed to
do so. That way, the official complainant is the CTPA, and the identity of
the individual filing the complaint is protected.
Individuals who wish to file a complaint about unlicensed
tree work may also contact the
DEP Division of Pesticide Management directly. Their phone
number is:
(860) 424-3369
and their address is:
CT DEP Pesticide Management
79 Elm Street
Hartford, CT 06106
Thank you!
