UNSEEN: the 11th Annual

Tree Canopy Conference

Friday, October 18 • 9 AM – 4:30 PM

at Haverford College

This year’s Conference will include six presentations by speakers who will explore the unseen elements of our urban forest. While some parts of trees and the green industry are visible, others are underground or less easily observed—our speakers at the 11th Annual Tree Canopy Conference will dive into some of these topics, including soils, fungi, root systems, dendrochronology, trees and the air, the social dimensions of urban forestry, and more.

This Conference is hosted by the Morris Arboretum & Gardens and Haverford College Arboretum.
