Dr. Hendrickson will present an overview of past and current arboricultural practices and how they are evolving in light of current research on environmental stress. He will focus on the role trees play in our environment and the associated threats arising from environmental changes, such as global warming, that we are currently experiencing. He will help us understand how we can continue to preserve the health and beauty of trees that are such a critical component of a sustainable, biologically diverse landscape. Dr. Hendrickson, who received his Ph.D. from the Yale School of Forestry, is nationally recognized as an expert arborist.
