Program

The Shade Tree Short Course includes general sessions and concurrent sessions each day. Concurrent sessions include topics from the following topic areas:

• Introductory Sessions: most valuable for people just entering or re-entering the fields arboriculture, urban forestry, or urban natural resource management. These courses provide a sound foundation for understanding tree biology, tree identification, problem diagnosis, soil science, and plant maintenance.
• Technical Sessions: build on your basic understanding of arboriculture and urban forestry with new, specific, or more technical information.
• Advanced Technical Track: tend to be very topic specific and assume that you have the experience and education for more technically challenging classes.
• Community Forestry: will help decision makers at any level, volunteers, or advocates make better educated decisions.
• International Society of Arboriculture, Certified Arborist Exam Preparation Track: will greatly assist your preparation to take the certification exam. Select sessions that you feel will strengthen your weaknesses.
