Urban Tree Summit Tickets on Sale Now!

Montgomery Parks and Casey Trees, present our eleventh annual conference — The Urban Tree Summit 2022. Presentations will highlight the innovative work happening in the field of urban forestry both locally in the DMV and around the world!

This year’s conference will be a mix of a half day virtual session and three different in-person, on-site field sessions. Our virtual session will feature six different talks with two keynote speakers and two choose-your-own-adventure concurrent presentations. All presentations will be available for participants to watch after the summit as well, so no matter which you choose you can still soak in all the knowledge. 

Our field sessions will take us all across the DMV area, connecting to local forestry work and taking an in-depth look at urban forestry in action. These sessions will provide opportunities to connect, in person, to collaborate, and share knowledge with other arborists, advocates, and tree lovers alike!

Join us online or in person this fall at this year’s Urban Tree Summit! Tickets are available online.
