ATC ‘22 ARBORPALOOZA: EXPLORING THE WIDE WORLD OF TREES
Outdoor Walk & Talk #1: How Water Moves in Trees Monday, October 3, 2022 | 10:30 am to 11:30 am (1 CEU) Presenter: Dr. Stephanie Adams Location: Meet at the ATC Info Booth
It’s estimated that 94% of water that enters the tree roots will leave through the leaves. Only 1% of water is used for photosynthesis and 5% is used for growth. So why do trees need so much water? This presentation will explain how trees absorb and move water throughout their system and all of the functions it serves within the tree to maintain health, vigor, and longevity.

Outdoor Walk & Talk #2: The Trees of Tubbs Hill Monday, October 3, 2022 | 10:30 am to 11:30 am (1 CEU) Presenter: Jack Nisbet Location: Meet at the ATC info Booth
This walk will travel east from the rocky point above the marina through areas of ninebark and Douglas-fir that include significant Armillaria mortality. We will view areas planted with seedlings of rot-resistant species, examine Norway maples that have been intentionally killed to make room for the new trees, and try to visualize the forest as it existed before the period of Euro-American contact. The hike will end in a grove of large western white pines and tamaracks thriving in colluvial soils at the very bottom of the hill—some on private land, some within the city park. Along the way we will learn how the city of Coeur d’Alene is adapting its 20 year- old master plan for the park to address such modern conditions.
