What is the Arborists Training Course?
The Arborists Training Course is a week long training course put on by the Kansas Arborists Association with support from the Kansas Forest Service. The purpose of the course is to educate and train people who work with trees. This week-long school was developed primarily to instruct potential or existing tree maintenance workers, tree board members, park managers, ground maintenance personnel, and administrators to learn about proper tree care. The course provides participants with training in professional tree care while meeting the basic requirements for certification with the Kansas Arborists Association. Typically held in Manhattan during the 2nd or 3rd week of October, the course has been an annual training event with over 1,200 participants over the last 30 years. For more information on the course contact Eric Berg, Community Forestry Coordinator, KFS or Dr. Charles Long, Executive Secretary, KAA or visit (web link info on KAA which I am sending you).
