Morris Arboretum Offering Preserving Trees During Construction Workshop Nov. 1
|
|
The Morris Arboretum School of Arboriculture is hosting a Preserving Trees During Construction Workshop on November 1 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Arboretum in Philadelphia.
The instructors for the Workshop will be Jason Lubar, Associate Director of Urban Forestry , and Robert Wells, Associate Director of Outreach Arboriculture.
Successful tree preservation during construction assures the project's goals are achieved without jeopardizing the health and lifespan of protected trees. Since there must be a collaborative process by decision-makers for this to occur, people from all disciplines involved with the construction process will benefit from this class.
The instructors will assist you in determining which trees to preserve, how to designate adequate tree protection zones based on the tree's structural and biological needs, how to specify and install protective fencing, and how construction processes such as cut/fill, trenching, and soil compaction effect both existing and proposed trees. Tree physiology and biology will be explored in this class.
Students will be provided with comprehensive technical information about tree-related construction impacts and they will leave with an understanding about how these impacts relate to tree growth and longevity.
This course carries 5.5 CEUs for ISA arborists. The cost is $125, including lunch.
Registration is available online or call Morris Arboretum at 215-247-5777 ext. 125.
