Urban Tree Health: Strategies to Avoid Construction Damage 

There are countless benefits to healthy trees in the urban landscape including air quality, property value, traffic noise reduction, and more. Over time, the value of a tree increases while the value of other urban assets decrease. We’ll take a close look at the importance of protecting urban trees during construction and road work to ensure their vitality and enhance longevity. See practical examples of ways to protect street trees and structural roots to mitigate potential failure. Discuss scenarios that will cause damage and review the negative impact. Take away urban tree preservation strategies you can put to use right away.

MCA and ISA CEU credit available.
