What actions from the past have led to urban tree issues today? Why are trees experiencing limb failure, insect infestations, disease colonization, structural instability, and mechanical damage? Do these destructive agents have a common denominator?
Investigate these questions and more with international arborist Scott Seargeant as he walks you through his approach to forensic tree analysis. Learn how to identify the root causes of urban tree health problems and how to solve them.
In an insightful talk for students and adults, Scott Seargeant teaches the basics of tree care with the understanding that trees are not dissimilar to people. Trimming trees without consulting an expert is much more damaging than most realize. By showing children that trees deserve respect, Scott hopes to empower a much more passionate and informed generation of environmental stewards.
Trees provide oxygen, regulate environmental temperatures, and sequester carbon. Yet, despite their importance to humanity, many urban areas continue to neglect and destroy them through poor planning and inadequate care. In this presentation, we will explore an alternative approach—what if we treated trees with the same love, respect, and attention given to our pets?
Imagine a society where trees were considered beloved members of our families. What if every city park, backyard, and street corner had trees that were cared for and protected with the same care as a household animal? What if we held those responsible for the widespread decline in urban trees accountable for their actions?
By reimagining how we care for trees, we could reinstate a powerful tool for reducing the impacts of our current climate crisis. This shift in perspective could lead to a drastic increase in tree planting, better urban planning, and enhanced policy that safeguards the future of our forests and green spaces.
