How to Combat the Latest Diseases of Spruce & True Fir Conifers represent a critically important compo- nent of our urban and residential landscapes. New and emerging pathogens, coupled with established diseases, insects and abiotic stresses, continue to threaten this valuable resource. Rarely does one pest or pathogen lead to death and most tree declines are the result of multiple factors. Learn about new and emerging fungal pathogens and their role in conifer decline; understand the factors that lead to disease development and tree decline; and explore treatment options and man- agement strategies.

No More Paperwork: Paperless Tools to Connect the Field/Office at Lightspeed Landscape and snow contractors: this presenta- tion on mobile device technologies is for you. We’ll look at tools you can use to streamline oper- ations – synchronizing quality control, billing, payroll/time management, job costing and much more. You will see real-life examples of simple (and often free!) technologies that help bridge the divide between field operations and an informed, well-managed office. Learn mobile technologies that will improve your company’s awareness and productivity and leave your pen- and-paper competitors to get buried in their own paperwork.

Permaculture: Principles, Design Methods & Landscape Practices Permaculture is an important ecological design approach. It allows us to create home landscapes and communities that not only produce food and beauty for people, but also shelters birds and ben- eficial insects, conserves water and energy, main- tains soil health, and enhances biodiversity. You will be introduced to a set of design tools that ensure landscape elements are placed in the best relationships to the users, the other elements, and the environment. Take away a better understand- ing of the basics of a design system for creating landscapes that act like healthy ecosystems.
