Sick tree? Don’t panic! CE and ICMGF meeting
2026-01-29 19:00 - 20:00
Sick tree? Don’t panic!
Sick, dying, and dead trees can be quite alarming to property owners and induce panicked calls to tree care professionals. Pests and pathogens are often the first assumption, along with an assumed urgent need for pesticide application. This presentation will address common reasons why trees decline and die (with a focus on native trees in small forest and home landscape contexts), why pesticides are often not a good response, the importance of a holistic approach, and the importance of good communication and “bedside manner” to manage client expectations and be sensitive to the emotions associated with tree health problems
