Spreading the word re: Arboriculture Industry

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe some before and after shots of homes that have had there trees trimmed and the impact it had on the marketability of the home.

[/ QUOTE ]i'll try that today. Tough to get those shots so they are effective though; I have many that do not tell the story well.

Orchestrate and weave, o yeah, now Mario's into the poetry. Communication is a fine art that develops with practice and inspiration. It's hard work but fun and pays off in many unsuspected ways. I'm just starting to learn it.
 
I want to thank many of you for your great ideas and now even some fabulous stories. I apologize if there is anything that I have said that may be perceived as manipulative. I work with Sherrill but am NOT a SherrillTree employee. I am taking it upon myself to talk to the real men and women who pour in hours of blood, sweat and tears every day to maintain the best care of trees that they serve.
I want to offer you folks a review of what has transpired thus far:

Story ideas:
ONE: arborists and their involvement in wildlife conservation (hawks).
TWO: A man who gets back to work as an arborist after a horrific accident that leaves him physically changed but still determined to do what he loves - take care of trees.
THREE: Two amazing men who took it upon themselves to help train someone from another country to compete in a state climbing competition.
FOUR: Tips on ways to secure a true arborist or tree care provider.

I am once again appreciative of the great ideas and information that is important to you, the arborists that caan help educate homeowners and the general public in an easy to understand way. I would like to think that arborists can be recognized as life sustainers for the trees. If you have a story idea, please don't hesitate to share. My hope is to see a lot more information shared about the multitude of great examples of skilled arborists making a difference just doing what they have a passion to do - maintain and preserve the life in trees.

I will never have enough story ideas. And all ideas are welcome. You men and women work so hard and deserve to have your story told/shared so that others may be able to gain knowledge from what you have done/learned. I look forward to hearing from anyone with a story idea that you feel can help future arborists (college students and even young kids in primary schools), new arborists who have the passion but need the encouragement to feel empowered to get started as well as experienced arborists who are rich with stories and well-worn learning experiences that can and often save the lives of others within the industry.

Email any time. I continue to be amazed and overwhelmed with the care and dedication that you men and women offer. These stories are way to help all sorts of audiences appreciate your great contributions.

I hope to have the great pleasure of meetin each and every one of you as our paths cross along the way.

So, how do you get these people to show up at your seminars???

Portland yard garden and patio show - just volunteer and they promote the seminars in the paper and on internet.

Master Gardeners - similar.

Garden Club - invitation via referral from members.

Submit a course outline to a community college for a commnunity ed class. Then they distribute the schedule books.

Those are the 4 paths I've been involved with.

[/ QUOTE ]Also, tune in to the program calendars of landscapers, landscape architects, public works etc and submit proposals. audiences are ready made, new choirs.

MG's are very easy to work with; natural allies.
 
So, Gillean could suggest checking out these events or reading class schedules to learn more about trees and the arborists who care for them. That's a good start. What was said in the promotional material that captured your attendees interest would be of value to this discussion.

This is what I'd call the low hanging fruit. The attendees are already into gardening. That task is to extent the reach to the rest of the potential audience, homeowners.
