CEU's for Landscape Architects

The green industry plays an essential role in shaping our urban forest canopy. As you look around the urban and suburban landscape, you cannot help but notice mature trees are struggling. Newly installed trees have high failure rates and will not replace these forest elders. From cultural practices to pressures from development, these landscapes are not ready to support healthy, long-lived trees. This built environment is engineered to support infrastructure. Undisturbed, healthy soils are uncommon in this environment. Overcoming the difficulties of growing healthy trees in compacted, urban soils is a challenge without appropriate site preparation. This talk will aim at providing science-based and peer-reviewed recommendations to ensure healthy urban trees persist and thrive in the built environment.
