Trees don’t fall for no reason!
Eco-A offers Living With Trees, a series of neighborhood walks and on-line presentations to help everyone better understand how to recognize the signs a tree might be at risk — as well as learn key indicators for healthy trees.
More about Living With Trees
Most trees will tell us they have problems years before they fail —
— if we know what signs to look for.
Join us for an informative walk
in your neighborhood or local park to learn easy-to-identify clues that a tree might be hazardous before it creates damage.
We‘ll share fascinating facts about trees and proper tree care, and we’ll be joined by a professional ISA Certified Arborist (think Tree Doctor) who can answer questions and share tips on how to keep your trees in best health.

Everyone should know tree health basics, how to tell if tree might be hazardous, and how to call a certified Arborist for help. Pruning dead branches or knowing when to remove a potentially hazardous tree can save much cost and heartache. And it’s important to reduce worry about healthy trees, which often saves homeowners the cost of unnecessary tree work.

“Your interactive program left a lasting impression on our group! Time went by fast as we were able to see and touch the effects of healthy and unhealthy trees, and solutions for addressing these issues throughout our community. The knowledge that was provided during our walk, as well as your extensive after action report is a testament to your commitment to neighborhoods. Thank you again for sharing your time and expertise with Neighborhood Planning Unit-P residents!” – Juanita M., Living with Trees Walk, City of Atlanta
