of the appraisal process and provides an opportunity to practice in the field. The first portion of the course is a lecture that discusses the primary components of TFT and a short history of the changes made from the 9th Edition to the 10th Edition of the
Guide for Plant Appraisal. The second half of the course is a field application of the concepts discussed in the lecture. Participants will divide into groups and appraise several trees. The class will reconvene and discuss the results.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
