About:
Whether you are just starting out as a climbing arborist or working as a consultant or tree manager, understanding tree biomechanics is important aspect of an arborist’s everyday work life.
Join us as we look at tree biomechanics from a number of aspects. From Ken James talking through the more scientific aspects of tree biomechanics, to Ben Kenyon and Lochie Scott explaining the use of sonic tomography and tree motion sensors, to Anthony McConchie and Oliver Moore discussing practical implications for the tree worker, this day will have something for anyone working with trees.
