    Our Presenter - Ed Gilman:

    Ed Gilman is the author of “An Illustrated Guide to Pruning“, arguably the most complete and accessible reference on tree pruning in our industry. This comprehensive text has helped to inform countless professional arborists and tree surgeons on the best practices of training, trimming and pruning trees.


    "I have been doing tree work for over 20 years and thought I knew how to prune a tree! I am only halfway through Ed Gilman's book and it has revolutionized every facet of pruning for me; I can't wait to see what are in the remaining chapters; do not think you have arrived until you read this book. I am really looking forward to hearing Ed in person at this two-day workshop. Do yourself and your customers a favor and bring your tree work to another level" ~David Mikulak, Past ACTC President

    Thank you to our event sponsor!

    Nuestro presentador - Ed Gilman:
    Ed Gilman es el autor de "Una guía ilustrada para la poda", posiblemente la referencia más completa y accesible sobre la poda de árboles en nuestra industria. Este texto completo ha ayudado a informar a innumerables arboricultores profesionales y cirujanos de árboles sobre las mejores prácticas de entrenamiento, poda y poda de árboles."

    "He trabajado con árboles durante más de 20 años y pensé que sabía cómo podarlos. Estoy apenas a la mitad del libro de Ed Gilman y ha revolucionado cada faceta de la poda para mí. No puedo esperar a ver qué hay en los capítulos restantes. No piense que ha llegado hasta que lea este libro. Tengo muchas ganas de escuchar a Ed en persona en este taller de dos días. Hágase un favor a usted mismo y a sus clientes y lleve su trabajo con los árboles a otro nivel". ~David Mikulak, expresidente de ACTC
