With the new water restrictions there are a lot of decisions and questions arborists, urban foresters, and others in the industry are faced with. You might have noticed that our landscapes, unfortunately, have not turned out as intended. There have been plenty of surprises as well as important things learned.
IUFC has organized a panel of experts to give you the tools and answers that you can share with decision makers and clients.
By attending you are helping support IUFC and the educational materials we produce. We offer our sincere thanks, and we look forward to seeing you and sharing a productive day.
- Price: $65 (includes Lunch)
