Rolling Green Tree Care has launched a partnership with San Bernardino Valley College’s extension program to open new career paths in the arboriculture industry. This initiative is designed to equip young people with the training, certification, and employment opportunities needed for a career in the green industry.

Empowering the Next Generation

The San Bernardino Valley College extension program offers a comprehensive 180-hour course that includes official certification.

Students are trained to work as “Ground Persons,” preparing them for a variety of arboriculture tasks, from handling specialized tools to managing on-ground safety protocols.

This course ensures that students gain essential skills and knowledge for success in this growing industry.
