    Trees and Water: The 13th Annual Tree Canopy Conference

    The Tree Canopy Conference is an annual symposium that brings together a variety of green industry professionals and other stakeholders who work with and care about our region’s urban forest. Conference participants will further their knowledge, connect with others in the industry, and gain continuing education units towards their credentials.

    Water shapes every landscape, sustains every ecosystem, and connects communities to the natural world. This year’s Tree Canopy Conference explores the vital relationship between trees and water, from the mechanics of tree physiology to the hydrologic history of our region and everything in between.
     
    The conference will be held at Haverford College in the Stokes Hall Auditorium and is a partnership between the Morris Arboretum & Gardens and the Haverford College Arboretum.  Attendees may also enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of Haverford College Arboretum’s extensive tree collection and a walking tour from the Philadelphia Mycology Club. The day’s program has been submitted to carry 5 CEUs from ISA, LA CES, and the NJ Board of Tree Experts.
