$25 para profesionales del cuidado de arbol
espacio limitado
En este taller aprenderas a entender las necesidades de poda de los árboles maduros y las técnicas correctas de poda para su cuidado. El taller está diseñado para arboristas y paisajistas para mejorar sus conocimientos sobre el cuidado adecuado de los árboles en el sector público y privado.
La poda es el procedimiento más habitual en el mantenimiento de los árboles. Si bien los árboles del bosque crecen de forma correcta únicamente con la poda natural, los árboles ornamentales requieren un mayor nivel de cuidado para mantener su integridad estructural y su estética. La poda debe realizarse teniendo en cuenta la biología del árbol. Una poda incorrecta puede provocar un daño permanente o, incluso, acortar la vida del árbol.
Una parte de este curso se llevará a cabo en el campo, por lo que se recomienda vestirse apropiadamente según el clima.
Acerca del instructor: Juan C. Carrasco es el Director de Cuidado de la Salud de las Plantas en Atlanta Arbor y un Maestro Arborista Certificado por la Junta con más de 30 años de experiencia dedicada a la industria verde.

Pruning is the most common procedure in tree maintenance. While forest trees grow well with natural pruning alone, ornamental trees require a higher level of care to maintain their structural integrity and aesthetics. Pruning must be done with the biology of the tree in mind. Improper pruning can cause permanent damage or even shorten the life of the tree. This course is designed for arborists and landscapers to improve their knowledge of tree care in the public and private sector.

Note, this webinar does not qualify one to perform TRAQ assessments professionally but is an intro to the field of tree risk assessments.

individuals looking to advance their arborist career
individuals interested in taking the TRAQ course, but not sure if it is right for them
anyone who is not familiar with Risk Assessments or what the ISA TRAQ Course entails.
