I wanted to take a minute to let you know that last week’s TRAQ workshop lead by Mark Duntemann was fantastic. Mark is a wonderful teacher and his Italian arborist associates added a lot to the program as well. I try to attend a fair amount of events and generally seek out educational opportunities to further my arboricultural knowledge. This was by far one of the better uses of my time in recent memory. Mark and his team made quite an impression. He’s knowledgeable, presents information clearly and is a quality representative of our profession.

The venue was quite nice and I appreciate the discounted room rate at the Hanover Inn (one of the nicer places I’ve stayed in…which isn’t saying much about me).

We need more programs like this and I look forward to attending future events where Mark teaching.

Regarding Mt. Auburn Cemetery and the Mature Trees and Landscape Preservation Workshop: That place is AWESOME! I've rarely seen Fagus trees that large and perfect. Of course they have problems and their days are numbered....

Great gig - and good CEUs.
