Trees are a vital component of countless ecosystems. Almost intuitively, we sense the power of their presence, and we know the role they play in our own survival. The challenges trees now encounter, however, are intensifying. When trees are lost, so are the ecosystems they support. The need to preserve and replant has perhaps never been greater. Who better than arborists to roll up their sleeves and apply their know-how? Join us to hear one arborist’s thoughts on the challenges and practical action that can be taken at the local level to help reverse this course.
