About This Event
The arboriculture industry's impact extends far beyond tree care operations. In this engaging discussion, representatives from TREE Fund and Saluting Branches will share how industry professionals are making meaningful contributions through fundraising, public outreach, volunteerism, and service. Attendees will learn about TREE Fund's annual Tour des Trees bicycle ride, which raises critical funds for arboriculture research while increasing public awareness of the value and importance of healthy urban forests. The session will also highlight the Saluting Branches Day of Service, a nationwide volunteer effort that mobilizes arborists and industry partners to provide tree and landscape care at veteran cemeteries and memorial sites. Attendees will discover how these initiatives strengthen communities, elevate the profession's visibility, create meaningful networking opportunities, and provide rewarding ways for individuals and organizations to give back. Participants will leave with practical ideas for getting involved and supporting industry-wide efforts that make a lasting impact.
