| Impact Report | Tree care issues continue to be the most requested area of expertise and assistance that the Agent receives. Having established a reputation as a very good diagnostic arborist, Agent is now approached by many commercial operations, local public bodies, as well as homeowners for problem solving and advice. Agent has developed a few versions of presentations related to basic tree care in urban settings, which have been used for Master Gardener training as well as invited presentations to area homeowners’ associations and other venues. Agent continues to be very involved with Think Trees New Mexico, a local non-profit which puts on an annual arboriculture conference with national caliber speakers; in 2011, Agent changed his role with this organization from Secretary to Vice President, the latter role being in charge of program development for the conference. Agent is also the Chairman of the Tree Planting Advisory Committee, a board which assists the State Forestry Division’s Urban Forester with a small grant program aimed at assisting with tree planting on public lands throughout New Mexico. Agent has also been a presenter at a one-day training program for award recipients, hosted at the BCCES office. Agent continues to maintain his Certified Arborist status through the International Society of Arboriculture. |
