🌳 Putting SS724 into practice once again! ✂️

On 22–23 September, Landscape Industry Association (LIAS) continued the SS724 Formative Pruning Principles and Techniques Workshop at Woodleigh, bringing participants together for another hands-on learning experience in tropical tree care.

🌱 From understanding tree structure and branching architecture to applying formative pruning techniques, participants had the opportunity to put the principles of SS724 into practice and build confidence in making informed, structurally-sound pruning decisions.

🙏 A big thank you to our trainers and participants for making this session such a valuable learning experience! We look forward to continuing to build capabilities across our arboriculture community through more workshops, WSQ courses and webinars.
