VOLUNTEER RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY: Assessing the Risk of Tree Failure

  • Saturday, April 05, 2025
  • 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM
  • Millborn Farm, Sherborn / Millis

RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS NEEDED

Although progress has been made to be more objective, assessing the likelihood of tree failure remains a subjective process. To help understand the factors that might play a role, Dr. Brian Kane at the Stockbridge School would like to invite MAA members to participate in a study on tree risk assessment.

The study will involve a day of assessing trees for likelihood of failure.  In addition, a questionnaire will be collected regarding demographic information, your experience, any credentials you hold, and your personal risk tolerance. 

The study will take place on Saturday, April 5, 2025.

A minimum of FOUR HOURS is required of each participant.

Coffee, donuts and light lunch will be provided.

CEUs Available: 1 MCA Education credit, ISA credit pending.

Additional details will be circulated as the date gets closer!
