Description

More and more people, organizations, municipalities, and companies are coming to realize the importance of our tree canopy. Especially in our cities. But are we doing all we can to ensure a healthy, long lived canopy? Is our canopy increasing? Are we helping or hurting our tree canopy? There is far too much data that indicates all might not be as well as we hope. What are the risks to our urban tree canopy, and can we reduce or eliminate them? This course will look at those risks, from the grower to the installer, to the tree workers charged with caring for them as they grow. We still have a long way to go. Approved for 6.5 CEU/HSW/PDH
