Hazard Trees/Trees, People and the Law 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 Trees, People, and the Law seminar opens with an introduction to basic legal concepts, followed by an examination of the important issues regarding trees and the law. State and local laws and court cases will be included to tailor the seminar to each locality. Victor Merullo, attorney, law professor, and author of Arboriculture and the Law, teaches the seminar.



11.0 CUEs are available to those who attend both full-day seminars.
