Arborists have a global organization called ISA (International Society of Arboriculture). Originally, tree climbing was a technique reserved for some arborists, but in 1983, Peter Jenkins established Tree Climbers International (TCI) in Atlanta, Georgia so that the general public could enjoy it as a recreational activity. An organization was established and spread. Starting with the United States, TCI has expanded its network to Canada, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, and Japan.
