  ¿Qué voy a aprender?

  Las clases cubren los temas de examen más ponderados en la Guía de Estudio de Certificación de Arboristas de la ISA.

  Día 1 (Agosto 21:)

  • Conceptos básicos de poda y biología de árboles: los árboles paisajísticos requieren un mayor nivel de cuidado para mantener su integridad estructural y estética. La poda debe hacerse con una comprensión de la biología de los árboles. Una poda inadecuada puede crear daños duraderos o incluso acortar la vida del árbol. 
  • Manejo del suelo - ¿Qué es el suelo y cómo funciona para los árboles? La razón por la que los árboles están vivos, qué son los nutrientes, cómo el suelo almacena el agua y los nutrientes. Cómo funcionan las enmiendas en el suelo.

La identificación de los síntomas específicos del daño y la comprensión de sus causas, permite diagnosticar adecuadamente el problema y seleccionar un tratamiento adecuado.

  Día 2 (Agosto 22):

  • Revisa los temas del Día 1- Poda, manejo del suelo, diagnóstico y tratamiento.

Cómo identificar los riesgos de seguridad y planificar prácticas de trabajo seguras.
