Tree Commission Annual Community and Urban Forestry Workshop
In conjunction with Bartlett Tree Experts and the Westminster Department of Public Works, the Tree Commission conducts an annual workshop to offer training to arborists, foresters, and tree care professionals from around the state. Each October for the last 18 years, workshop organizers bring in experts from all over the country to share their research and knowledge with local professionals.
