Symposium on Urban Forest Management and Tree Risk Assessment

 

The Hong Kong Institute of Horticultural Science (HKIHS) and the School of Life Sciences of CUHK are proud to present the upcoming Symposium on Urban Forest Management and Tree Risk Assessment to mark the 10th anniversary of the HKIHS. The theme will be on urban forestry. We are fortunate to have the support of scientists and tree experts from overseas, mainland China and Taiwan to share with us their knowledge and experience on urban forestry and tree assessment. The seminar will provide a common ground and platform to us all to share our views. We are convinced that this seminar will broaden and deepen participants’ understanding and techniques in urban forest ecology and management. Participants will get certificate of attendance for their CPD programs. All are welcome.
