ACRT Services is an employee-owned utility services organization specializing in independent vegetation management. Its teams help electric utilities, cooperatives and other infrastructure operators inspect rights-of-way, plan tree work, assess risk and manage storm response. Capabilities also include consulting forestry, arborist training, safety services, environmental research and workflow software. Because ACRT does not perform tree trimming itself, it positions its field assessments and recommendations as independent support for safe, reliable utility operations and environmental stewardship.
