Tree Talk Tuesday - Tree vs. Dirt
Webinar
Register Today
Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ET
Description: Before everyone yells that there’s no such thing as dirt, let’s take a closer look at urban and traditional soil profiles, then we can discuss how a tree reacts and responds to its environment. After we have a better understanding of why I chose the word dirt, is there something we can do about it? We will start with the history of soil care, then move on to what we are doing now, straight into the future.
Presenter: Joe Aiken, Great Lakes & Canada Senior Regional Technical Manager with Arborjet, has 40-plus years in the tree care industry, providing diverse and valuable experiences that have permitted him to guide others in plant health care decisions. He has worked in all phases of tree care as a licensed applicator and an ISA Certified Arborist. Joe routinely conducts product seminars and presentations on various treatment methods. He also supports Arborjet’s research department and cooperating universities, assisting with tree injections on research sites and other aspects of research required to aid in the development of equipment and formulations needed to control today’s invasive pests. Joe is a proud founding member of the Arboriculture Society of Michigan Foundation and Curator of the Arboriculture Historical Society. Most recently, Joe was awarded MSU’s Honorary Forestry Alumni Award. In 2001, Joe joined the team at Arborjet, where he shares his strong belief in tree preservation with clients and educates others on the benefit of more environmentally friendly solutions for our urban forest problems.
