If Trees Could Talk: Urban Tree Ring Analysis- webinar

Arborists and consultants are frequently called to assess claims of damage to trees. Without management records or direct evidence of the damage it is difficult to determine what impact an action or event had on the growth of trees. Case studies and research will be presented using tree-ring analysis as evidence in legal disputes regarding alleged damage to trees and to determine the long-term effects on tree growth. Research on construction damage and tree assessment will also be presented along with the tree ring collection and limitations.
