Roots to Results: Applying Research for a
Resilient Urban Forest
Thank you for joining us for the AMAZING DAY of education! This annual event benefited The Britton Fund and brought together top experts in arboriculture to share practical insights on soil health, species selection, legal issues, and innovative tools—including Britton Fund research. From rhizospheres to canopy cover, it was a day of science, solutions, and collaboration to grow stronger urban forests across the West. Planning is already underway for August 2026.
