Venues and dates are now confirmed for Tree Logic’s first seminar in 2009. Urban Forests – Striving for a natural balance. The seminar aims to provide a holistic perspective around the sociological, psychological and economic perspectives of our urban environment. Our renowned guest speakers have a wealth of valuable information and will cover the benefits of increasing tree coverage in our cities and how appropriate design allows greater planting opportunities. In addition, discussions regarding the development and implementation of urban forest management are not to be missed. Let’s welcome this opportunity to help re-introduce nature back into our urban lives.
Q: Why did the Hawthorn cross the road? The tree is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register as being of state botanical significance as the only known example of this specie or hybrid in Victoria. With the help of Rob Bodenstaff (Arbor Centre, WA), BS Callow, Gyra Engineering and various local sub-contractors including P & D Cranes, Maffra Trenching and RTL Transport; Tree Logic set about the process for transplanting the 40 tonne tree in just 5 days. The take home message is that large broad leaf tree transplants can be successfully achieved with appropriate care and attention to detail.
