Dear urban forestry colleagues,</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: white; margin: 0px 0px 10.67px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">
For those actively involved in conducting tree risk assessments in Canada and the US, we are distributing a 15-minute online survey on perceived likelihood of failure of included bark unions. The survey includes scenarios and photos for nine trees, and we are
looking for urban tree care professionals to rate the likelihood of failure in each situation. As an incentive for participation, entrants have the option to enter a drawing for one of ten $100 USD gift cards to an arborist supply store.</div>

Please feel free to distribute this survey to others who might be interested in participating. Any comments or questions can be directed to the principal investigator, Alexander Martin (University of Toronto – Mississauga) at alexjf.martin@mail.utoronto.ca. </div>
