I would like to challenge you in this industry to think about some ideas and concepts. To begin with, we need to understand that urban landscape management, of which tree care is a part, is changing worldwide. What goes on here in North America is going on elsewhere in the world; whether you like it or not. I joke that we have our eco-terrorist friends saying we are doing terrible, nasty things to the environment. The reality is that urban habitats in North America are way behind the Europeans. The Europeans have already figured out that they have destroyed their entire natural environment. There are no natural environments left in Europe. When you go to a forest in Europe, that forest is probably in its fourth or fifth cutting because they have been there so long and there are so many people there that they have modified those habitats. But when scientists decided to take a look at the urban habitat, guess what they found? They found that the urban habitats are actually more diverse in the numbers of species of plants and animals than the so-called natural habitats.
