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.

This year's conference will include six presentations exploring stories of resilience in our urban forest. Our speakers will dive into topics such as climate-resilient trees, the restoration of ecological function in degraded waterways, local efforts to address tree canopy disparities, resilience in the face of shifting political and economic landscapes, and much more.
 
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.
