ATC ‘22 ARBORPALOOZA: EXPLORING THE WIDE WORLD OF TREES
The Value of Deadwood Tuesday, October 4, 2022 | 9 am to 10 am (1 CEU) Presenter: Brian French Location: Bay 6
Only 1-2 percent of a mature tree is living. What are the benefits for the other, non-living parts? What is deadwood? Does removing dead branches make a tree healthier? Why would we consider retaining deadwood? In this presentation, we will examine many benefits that deadwood offer and many, that may be underval - ued. Additionally, we will journey around the Pacific Northwest and look at how deadwood is being used as a resource rather than waste.
