is looking at adopting some higher tree protection and preservation standards,
especially regarding our standard construction specifications. To help prepare
our engineers and construction contractors for potential changes and to educate
them why and how trees must be protected, we are putting on a ½ day seminar on
this topic in February. We are hoping to invite either an engineer or
construction company rep from somewhere that has had enhanced tree protection
in place for many years (required tree protection zones, working with
consulting arborists mandatory, correct root pruning by arborists when
required, etc). Have any of you worked with a specific member of this industry
who was particularly successful in meeting these new challenges? Have they
been able to modify their processes or designs in ways that preserve trees and
also allow them to make their bottom line? If so please pass along any contact
information to me.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
