ANGELA REDBURN, groundskeeper/general maintenance worker at Missouri State University-West Plains, has received certification as an arborist from the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), a worldwide professional organization headquartered in Champaign, Ill., dedicated to fostering a greater appreciation for trees and to promoting research, technology and the professional practice of arboriculture.

With her new certification, Redburn will lead the campus’ tree care and maintenance programs and train fellow groundskeepers on proper tree care. (Missouri State-West Plains Photo)
