The Denver botanical gardens and the University of Denver Alter
Arboretum are sponsoring the 5^th annual tree conference on March 15^th
, 2018 at the Denver Botanical Gardens.
The theme of the conference is urban trees. To protect the future of
urban forests -- which are threatened by pests, pathogens, and changes
in the urban and global environments -- a greater variety of tree
species are needed. Led by 4 guest speakers, this conference will
explore the relationships between landscape design, horticultural
practices and the use of a greater variety of tree species in urban
habitats.
Between them, our speakers this year boast an extravagant depth of
experience ranging from worldwide plant exploration to landscape and
garden design, promotion of new plant materials, administration of some
of our country's most noted horticultural conferences and institutions
and hands-on experience with plant testing and data collection.
