The Cost of Not Maintaining Trees Symposium

University of South Florida
Patel Center of Global Sustainability
Tampa, Florida, USA

Sponsored by:

International Society of Arboriculture

Florida Urban Forestry Council

ISA-Florida Chapter

The Costs of Not Maintaining Trees Symposium will explore the value trees provide as part of urban green infrastructure, attempt to quantify the costs associated with poor urban forest management practices, and examine the potential benefits that can be reaped from proper planning and maintenance. Only once these costs and benefits have been evaluated can urban foresters, utility vegetation managers, and elected officials make effective management decisions.

Speakers will include: Dave Nowak, Greg McPherson, Cecil Konijnendijk, Rich Hauer, and many more!

This event is being held right before the International Tree Climbing Competition, also in Tampa on March 21-22.
