A Climate Resilient Tree Selection Protocol
With a changing climate and tougher urban conditions, how can we select trees with the resilience they need to survive and thrive?
During the first session we will look at the theory behind a simple tree selection protocol - a method for selecting appropriate and climate resilient trees. To illustrate the method I will ‘test’ whether or not our industry’s most popular trees are climate resilient and discover new ones that are.
The following week we will all present two trees that we have selected using the protocol. This is a great way of taking the learning deeper and the sharing will spark fruitful discussions and hopefully some wonderful surprises.
