ATC ‘22 ARBORPALOOZA: EXPLORING THE WIDE WORLD OF TREES
Lightening Session We Are Stealing Healthy Soils From Our Clients One Load at a Time Monday, October 3, 2022 | 11:40 am to 12:10 pm (.50 CEU) Presenter: Allen Taylor Location: Bay 5 The hauling of wood chips and other organic “debris” from arboricultural job sites has been a staple of the industry for many years. We will discuss the negative implications this has for soil and tree health as well as a number of strategies for keeping these materials on site while still providing a professional finished product. Strategies range from specialty chipping equipment all the way down to cutting back on use of the rake and blower. Managing client expectations combined with taking an educational approach will allow you to leave your clients and their trees better off while focusing your energy on the tree care that really matters.
