I enjoyed a day of thought provoking presentations at the first "Rethinking the urban Forest" Conference that was hosted by the Addison Road Community Centre.

A fascinating analysis of the Climate and Urban Forest challenges and the intersection of them both. Every challenge presents opportunities and it was inspiring to hear many different approaches to these challenges.

We look forward to our practice as well as the wider industry adapting to these challenges and providing advanced services to meet them.

We are very proud and excited to be working with Opera Australia and Royal Botanic Gardens for this years Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour's production of Aida. It is a privilege to be associated with such an iconic organisation at such an iconic location.

During pre-production and construction I have been impressed with the professionalism of the whole production crew that I have worked with. After witnessing the complete performance I was blown away by the talent, skill and spectacle that the entire crew has drawn together.

We recommend that you grab a ticket while available and get out to see Aida for yourself.

Spring Winds a "Stress Test" for Trees

These recent strong winds that have blown through Sydney with such ferocity provide a stern "stress test" for urban trees. Each strong gust can make many nervous about the risk of tree failure, parti...cularly around property however the vast majority of storm damage and wind failure that we inspect has actually caused a failure in a structural defect that would have been possible to identify prior to the wind event.

Strong winds can be damaging for trees and surrounding property (not to mention people!) however the risk of failure can be significantly reduced by inspection and a plan of management for urban trees.

We can inspect using the Visual Tree Assessment Method (VTA) or use state of the art Resistograph testing to identify any potential structural defects in your trees and then provide an individual Plan to manage your trees. This will reduce the risk of failure in storm event and provide increased piece of mind.

Its an ill wind that blows no good.

It was a thrill and a privilege to have been able to assist with the planting of the first super advanced mature Fig at the Headland Park at Barangaroo today. This park is going to be such a beautiful addition to Sydney and I'm looking to forward to sitting under this Fig and watching the Harbour.

Barangaroo trees

It was great to revisit the Barangaroo site today and see that not only have those first two Eucalypts survived the tough conditions but they are thriving amongst many others.

Looking forward to being involved in the installation of the first two big Figs on site tomorrow.
