ArborTIMES Fall 2026

The Root Zone goes beyond conversation, delivering boots- on-the-ground insights from arborists on the challenges, expectations, and regulations shaping the industry.

Digging Deeper With The Root Zone Podcast Host Korey Conry Keeps Tabs on the Tree Care Industry By Mara Watts

At ArborTIMES™, we’re excited to announce our brand-new podcast, The Root Zone , hosted by indus- try titan and training extraordinaire, Korey Conry . Each month, Conry invites a fellow member of the tree care industry to the conversation, highlighting their background, stories, experiences, and contri- butions to the industry. More than just a chat among friends, The Root Zone breaks down pertinent topics affecting arborists through those with boots on the ground and how they navigate expectations, obstacles, and regula- tions on the job. In the inaugural episode of the podcast, Conry sat down with Nexus Solutions owner Cortland John- son regarding his run-in with a residential fire while servicing a separate property. In seconds, his team transitioned from tree care workers to first responders using the skills they’ve honed from their profession — risk management, delegation, and teamwork. The result was saving a spooked teen from the flames just moments before part of the house collapsed.
