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!
