With 40 years’ experience as a tree service owner, Eric Folmer is a Certified Arborist, member of the American Society of Consulting Arborists and a Qualified Tree Risk Assessor.

Eric will discuss and answer questions on topics such as reasons for tree work and tree removal; pruning objectives, needs and cycles; good and bad tree care practices; selecting a contractor; how to discuss and specify the work for the contractor; tree species, lifespan and mature size; keeping chips for mulch; and current drought and water needs.

Eric will also address his 10-year passion for tree climbing - for research, wild-life conservation and adventure - in California and tropical forest canopies. For more information on Eric’s tree climbing, visit treewolf.com.
