[CANUFNET] CTLA Plant Appraisal Guide 10 Edition - Not ready for publication

[Matt - Arborist via CANUFNET]

Hi Julian - I read the position statement.  Thank you for circulating 
this to the network.

Has the CTLA formally responded to the PAVC critique?  If so, could that 
response also be shared?

Thanks,

Matt
