🌿 Northern New England - Applied Plant Health Care Training 🌿
On April 14, we brought together PHC Specialists from every office across our Northern New England Division for a full day of hands‑on learning at the Urban Forestry Center in Portsmouth, NH. This Applied PHC Training was designed to support first‑year specialists by building consistency, confidence, and excellence in plant health care delivery.
The day blended classroom discussion with extensive outdoor, practical sessions covering diagnostics and sampling, PPE and rig safety, IPM field monitoring, client communication, soil care, injections, large tree spraying techniques, and tool demonstrations. Attendees rotated through stations to gain real‑world experience, ask questions, and share insights across the region.
A big thank‑you to our presenters and instructors for leading such a comprehensive program, and to everyone who participated and helped make the day a success. This kind of regional collaboration and ongoing training is essential to delivering high‑quality, science‑based tree care.
