THE LEAFLET

Casey Trees is bringing together five of the country’s leading experts in their fields to be part of Canopy Connections: Urban Forests for Public Good — our annual day-long conference designed to get industry professionals and fellow tree lovers sharing and discussing the latest research.

Hear from and network with leading researchers; reconnect with and meet fellow practitioners; and connect to our urban forests in a new and thrilling way. And the bonus? Canopy Connections qualifies for ISA Continuing Education, SAD, and LA CES Credits.
