Workshop Descriptions
This two-part workshop will provide a comprehensive
overview and guide for why and how large wood can be added to headwater (first order) streams to improve their function and habitat value.
We are all familiar with the damage than can be caused in our landscapes by gypsy moth and winter moth. However, there are numerous leaf-chewing insects that also demand our attention. Did you know that it is not only the Order Lepidoptera that sports some voracious defoliators? Representatives from the Hymenoptera include the dogwood sawfly and the European pine sawfly and Coleopterans such as the imported willow leaf beetle can also be pests. See examples of the damage these defoliators can create and explore management techniques to keep them at bay.
It's all about safety. When you're working hard, and putting yourself in potentially dangerous situations, you need to have confidence that your equipment will serve you well. We'll look at what's new in climbing and rigging line for today's professional arborist including the importance of rope energy absorption capability, the latest inspection protocol, rope replacement recommendations, ergonomics, and fiber technologies -- all of which are designed to keep you safer and improve productivity.
This workshop will make attendees aware of the hazards all tree care workers face when they work around energized electrical conductors. This awareness is an essential part of basic tree care safety.
