Trees are self-optimising structures, and human interventions such as construction damage to root systems, or poor crown pruning, can disrupt the balance in a tree’s biomechanical characteristics and ultimately have dire consequences, such as complete tree failure.
NZ Arb are proud to announce that we are running two biomechanics workshops in February hosted by world-leading experts in the field. Dr Andrew Koeser (University of Florida) and Dr Jason “Jake” Miesbauer (Morton Arboretum)
Koeser and Meisbauer will deliver two one-day workshops in New Zealand in February. A must-attend workshop for anyone involved in tree management decisions.
