Wind firming is climbing trees on the edge of clearcuts, all you do is climb up, cut off about 20-30% of the branches and top it at about 4"-6". It is with spurs, always, you don't need to be ISA certified, doesn't mean nothing, you wear caulks and hi-vis. It can be a lot of fun, out in the bush away from all the bs.

^ yup, in the real world, away from the frou-frou city trees, ISA means jack sqaut diddily. in fact show up at a company looking to windfirm and announce/show your ISA status/badge, you might just get laughed at and escorted off site.
