In this Issue
Urban Forests and Trees A great book on the establishment of trees for urban uses including identification and selection of species, management and more. From four authors including Cecil Konijnendijk (one of our seminar presenters). Purchase your book before the seminar and Cecil will gladly sign the copy for you. This book comprehensively covers all facets of planning, designing, establishing and managing forests and trees in and near urban areas. 
Western Coolibah Tree Admittedly this tree is associated more with Waltzing Matilda than urban landscape however it is a most majestic tree that can add value to any urban landscape. With normal and dwarf options soon it won’t just be swagmen that understand the value of this beauty. 
Permapave Paving that’s water sensitive. Provides the hard surface required for urban living, but with an infiltration rate of up to 35 litres/second/m2, direct runoff to tree roots rather than down the storm water drain. If you are thinking of paving take a look at this sustainable solution available from Tree Logic. 
Porous Paving Water sensitive urban design (WSUD), aimed at sustainable solutions to water management and broader environmental protection is gaining global momentum in contemporary urban planning. One of the solutions is porous paving. It’s widely employed in the UK, northern Europe and is gaining increasing popularity in the United States. In Australia, the driest continent in the world, there has traditionally been reluctance from government and urban planners to adopt this technology, despite its water management advantages. It’s time to relook at the total benefits of using this style of paving in urban landscapes.

Many great innovations start from a simple desire to do something better or more easily. At Tree Logic we have been keen to make tree injection simpler, more accurate and more environmentally friendly. The good news is that after 11 years of research and testing every commercially available tree injection system currently available, we have produced our own system. Introducing the Tree Logic Smart-Shot™ Tree Injector System. Smart-Shot™ sets a new standard for environmentally safe chemical use for tree injection and it’s refillable and coming soon!
