Speaker: Lindsey Purcell, LP Consulting Group

In order to improve the quality of tree care interventions, such as pruning, a process of evaluating tree conditions and preparing an objectives-based prescription before pruning a tree should be created.

This presentation will describe a method of how to communicate the tree conditions that concern the prescribing arborist, and which branches to prune to the arborists performing the work. Arborists can become more aware of how to communicate owner’s objectives, and which branches to prune to the production arborist performing the work. This new perspective will improve the quality and consistency of work creating better value for the tree owner and improved efficiencies in the crew.
