This is a time for arborists and climbers to not only refresh the knowledge they may not use every day but to learn the new techniques, innovations and knowledge that are constantly being discovered and enhanced. The PTCA Seminar & Field Day has had some of the top speakers and minds in the field of arboriculture from across the country! Visit past seminars & field days below.

In arboriculture, you either move forward or fall behind!
