The conference provided training in ANSI A300 standards, Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) methodology, insect and disease identification, tree care best practices, and effective ways to communicate tree care information with the community. Perry gained practical tools for more consistent tree risk assessments, documenting tree conditions, identifying potential health concerns, prioritizing maintenance needs, and helping residents better understand tree risks and recommended practices.
“This training gave me additional tools that I can bring back and apply to the trees we manage throughout the City,” Perry said. “It also provided valuable insight into how we can better communicate tree care standards, risks, and best practices with the community.”
The training supports the Parks and Recreation Department’s efforts to strengthen tree management practices, improve staff knowledge, and maintain healthy and safe trees throughout Branson’s parks and public spaces.
