    WE LOve our sponsors!!

    With our sponsors and community partners, we have planted over 800,000 trees in Arizona. Our volunteer community is strong and includes people from ALL walks of life and all ages. Supporting ACTC is a direct level of connection to people who include: home owners, students, small business owners, big business CEOs, green-industry professionals, teachers, cowboys and cowgirls, miners, technology professionals, municipal employees… you get the idea – we ARE Arizona and the people who volunteer with us ARE ALSO Arizona. Supporting ACTC, supports them as they do the work to care for trees in our our state-wide communities.

    We also provide the continuing education to hundreds of professional tree workers and arborists in Arizona. These people purchase and use millions of dollars in tree-care equipment, supplies and gear. Arizona tree professionals appreciate the support of organizations they go to for the supplies they need to care for trees. We invite our supplier partners to participate in supporting education events for tree-care professionals.

    Communication improves professionalism. This workshop is designed to introduce attendees to the process of crafting pruning prescriptions, and to show the results of pruning applied to trees for a decade and longer. Prescriptions are prepared to communicate to both the tree owner and production arborists the objectives of the tree owner, conditions found by the prescriber, and which branches to prune. Many examples are shown indoors and outdoors so you go home with new skills to practice.

    Agenda:

    Morning topics (indoors)

    • Introduction to prescription pruning
    • Long-term pruning results
    • Preparing pruning prescriptions on young trees

    Afternoon topics (indoor and outdoor)

    • Preparing pruning prescription on mature trees
    • Outside exercises: Attendees actively prepare pruning prescriptions under guidance from instructor.
    • Prescribing pruning on young trees
    • Prescribing pruning on mature trees

    Our Presenter - Ed Gilman:

    Ed Gilman is the author of “An Illustrated Guide to Pruning“, arguably the most complete and accessible reference on tree pruning in our industry. This comprehensive text has helped to inform countless professional arborists and tree surgeons on the best practices of training, trimming and pruning trees.


    "I have been doing tree work for over 20 years and thought I knew how to prune a tree! Do yourself and your customers a favor and bring your tree work to another level" ~David Mikulak, ACTC President
