PlantAmnesty and the University of Washington Botanic Gardens are teaming up once again to bring a new symposium to the PNW’s arborist and tree worker community. We polled some of the city’s most respected tree companies – and municipal tree workers – and discovered the demand for continued learning opportunities, ISA-credited education, and solutions and research around new and evolving work challenges. The first symposium’s theme will revolve around climate change and tree selection, pest and disease evolution and treatment, and the changing impacts of tree work on urban wildlife and habitat. The priority will be practical, on the ground (or out on the limb) information and techniques with immediately implementable guidance.
