Join us for a dynamic day of learning, discussion, and connection at our Western Tree Failure Database Annual Meeting, and we are back at the scenic Filoi Center in Woodside. This year the annual meeting will feature leading experts in arboriculture and forest management, offering insights from decades of research and practice. Topics include tree failure case studies, arborists’ assessments of stem decay, and post-fire recovery in Los Angeles. A special session reflects on twenty-five years of discoveries in tree biomechanics, followed by “Ask the Speaker,” where attendees can engage directly with presenters. The program concludes with training for new cooperators, led by Katherine Jones, WTFD Manager, ensuring participants gain both scientific knowledge and practical skills
