Overview
Arboriculture 101 is unique. Unlike some workshops, this course utilizes lecture and hands-on instruction. Attendees have the opportunity to learn real world applications to validate concepts taught in the lectures. A variety of instructional methods, such as hands-on displays, interactive discussions, and media demonstrations will be used as effective tools to address the varied learning styles of the students.
Some participants may only want to attend one or two days instead of the entire workshop to obtain continuing education credits or additional training in specific areas. Attendees who participate in the entire 4-day short course will receive a certificate of completion.
Each student will receive a manual of study notes, study questions, and a list of online resources to assist in learning the information presented.
