Municipal codes need to follow current professional practices and science, and most local codes relating to trees have not been reviewed or revised in one or two decades.
In 2019, a team of over 20 industry professionals was assembled to:
- Review current local codes relating to urban forestry
- Compare to industry standards and Best Management Practices
- Recommend updates and changes to existing codes
Our workshop will conduct small group reviews of these recommendations. The intent is to finalize code update language for submittal to local municipalities.
Meeting agenda: – Santa Fe Room at Balboa Park Club
One CEU will be available for this meeting! Lunch will be included with $20 ticket payment.
