Getting To Know Your Trees! General Care Throughout Your Tree's Life

People often overlook the needs of trees from young to mature. When a tree is planted in our urban and suburban landscapes, it is outside of its natural habitat and needs care to maintain its beauty. Most problems that occur with trees start as something small but compound over the tree's life, potentially leading to significant issues. A small adjustment now could lead to major benefits down the road.

Join Matt Archibald, ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, to learn through a proactive, healthcare focused lens how to care for trees young and old to keep them healthy, strong, and thriving!

He is a residential consultant at Leaf & Limb but has worked with multiple municipalities, universities, and organizations to educate people and keep their trees healthy. Matt's passion comes from learning about trees and nature and how we can best incorporate natural practices to keep our ecosystems healthy. His favorite subjects are Tree Identification, Biology, Biomechanics, Ecology, and Soil Science.
