Moving in the foxes to manage the henhouse, and cover up with lies--sounds like a US move. Inefficiency....

 

Anyway I'm glad to hear the US was represented by del Tredici; a keen and independent mind, far removed from the corporate wonks that distort and dominate arb in the US and ISA.

Good news about the book effort; a worthy endeavour! How far along are they; what news to share about the book's thrust?

No reps from Asia or Oz?

 

Peter was a joy to be around, a great man of trees, I learned a lot.

 

No reps from Asia or Oz

 

Book is still in editorial, I think the idea will make it a great piece work.

 

I'll update on when it's due out if and when I can.

The book will look at how our industry can work toward an integrated vision for tree care throughout its lifetime from establishment, through to maturity and on in to its veteran & ancient life stages.

Yes, I understand it will be available in print at some point.

 

 

I was with one of the authors today, I'll ask if he knows when and where you can get it.

Great thread! Missed it first time around.

 

Notwithstanding it was some time ago, was there any discussion / evidence of chalara dieback of Ash and the effects after several decades - maybe an insight to what we might have to deal with?

Hello Kevin, Chalara wasn't a focus of that particular seminar.

I downloaded it yesterday, after a heads up from another source. I didn't associate it with this, only flicking through looking at the pictures:blushing:
