Hazard Trees/Plant Health Care seminars

The Hazard Trees workshop mixes classroom and an outdoor lab for a dynamic learning experience. Knowing how to recognize and prevent "hazard trees" can save lives, property, and millions of dollars in legal damages. This requires both technical knowledge and common sense. This workshop helps participants learn to analyze the setting, assess the risks, and plan for actions that prevent or correct hazards whenever possible. Dr. Bruce Fraedrich, Vice President of Research at Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories, teaches the workshop.



The Plant Health Care seminar educates attendees about the correct way to care for trees and other plants in our often-inhospitable urban environments. This daylong seminar, taught by Dr. Roger Funk, of The Davey Tree Expert Company, will outline a Plant Health Care management system that works to improve plant vitality. This proactive and systematic approach to plant care focuses on strengthening the plant’s own defense mechanisms while reducing dependence on historically reactive chemical intervention.



11.0 CUEs are available after attending both full-day seminars.
