An annual Arborist workshop focused on practical knowledge about mature tree care.

The workshop will be led by Phlip Van Wassenaer who holds a B.Sc.

He is an ISA Certified Arborist, ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist, current Director at ASCA, a Past President and Director of the Ontario Urban Forest Council and a 2009 recipient of the ISA True Professionals of Arboriculture Award. 


Mr. Van Wassenaer will cover the following topics:

  • Conservation Arboriculture: Practical Approaches to Managing Aging trees
  • Tree Risk Assessment Techniques, from Simple to Complex
  • Reduce the Crown, Retain the Tree


The workshop will also include an outdoor component so participants can inspect mature trees and discuss real world examples of concepts covered by Philip. This will be led by professional arborists.

Throughout the day there will be opportunities for Q & A, idea sharing and discussion.
