I believe that is from the style guide for ISA-CA logo use

Here is the style guide. IMO they do get a little too picky, but I do agree with the CA requirements, too often there are companies that abuse the usage. If there is not a CA in the truck, it should not be there.
As for those who do not climb....How about
those who have never done IPM work, never looked at a bug or disease should not be arborists.
Those who never plant trees
Those who never look at shrubs and vines
Those who disdain getting dirt under their nails to examine a root flair.
Trimming may be the bulk of the income from tree work, but it is a small part of arboriculture. People in lab coats have just as much right to gain the title as a guy in a t-shirt and saddle.
I agree with you there, however I can count the customers that
actually care about these issue's on one hand in my area. I get
calls for removals 90% of the time trimming 8.2, stumps .06 and
actual tree care related issues .02 and all they want is you to
answer questions so $ where are they?
