Very good presenter, dynamic and interesting.” – Landscape Architect
“I am an Architect, Landscape Architect and Certified Arborist and in 30 years of my careers I have never encountered such a loaded webinar with such amount of useful information and statistics presented in such an interesting way that I am actually learning and engaged despite my ADHD. Thank you !!!”
“I enjoy the speaker's delivery and find that the photographs and images are very relevant to the discussion. I am used to attending conferences to obtain CEUs and found this to be a positive way to learn.” – Certified Arborist
“I wanted to thank you for the wonderful webinar. I usually dread these six-hour binges that are required for my continuing education. Have to tell you that your class was one of the best most educational and entertaining I have ever attended.” – Landscape Architect
“Excellent course, excellent instructor and excellent resources provided.” – Engineer
“Awesome program. John is one of two presenters in the last 30 years who has held my interest throughout an entire all-day program.” - Architect
“…been practicing landscape architecture for 41 years and this was one of the BEST webinar/seminars I have attended. If I were John, I’d STRONGLY consider writing a book!”
“I generally take courses on topics outside my field to continue to broaden my background. This was, hands down, the best course I have ever taken. The speaker was incredible. So much material was covered but all in laymen’s terms and very relatable. I was hesitant to sign up for this course – just seemed like a boring topic. I couldn’t have been more incorrect. I would recommend this to anyone looking for PDH credits, or just interested in learning the science behind trees.” – Structural Engineer
“Very good. Very useful. I will change some of what I have been doing based on what I have learned from this webinar.” – Civil Engineer
“Really informative and pertinent. Thoroughly enjoyable. I appreciate the challenge to Landscape Architects to become soil and tree experts. Thank you!” – Landscape Architect
“I am absolutely blown away by the quality of the class that Mr. John Palmer has provided. As an arborist who has been stolen away by engineers to work at an engineering/surveying firm, I'm absolutely astounded by how many things he has made click for me. The video images he has compiled, the research he has gathered, and the narrative he has formulated are so incredibly inspiring and true to the survey and design industry, and has put many ideas in my head for things I want to do moving forward. Thank you so much for providing this opportunity to me, and I look forward to seeing what else he has in store!” – Arborist/Engineer
“Great course. Great instructor.” – Urban Planner/Architect
“This was so great, truly one of the most engaging webinars I've joined!” –Architect & Creative Director
“I give this course an A+. Just wonderful information for a soil engineer who has never understood how to work with arborists and trees so that their needs are met as well as the structural needs of the parking lots, drive areas, and building foundations.” – Geotechnical Engineer
“Great material and a knowledgeable presenter. Thanks a lot.” – Forestry Supervisor and Arborist
“Excellent seminar. Definitive, comprehensive, and opinionated without prejudice. Highly relevant to architectural site design best practices. 5 star.” – Architect
“From 0 to 60 in a single day. Great presentation taking me from intro to aspiring expert. Knowing what to look for and where to find it is common in engineering practice, and this really helps with tree related topics.” – Structural Engineer
“Very well done. John is highly knowledgeable, very professional and informative. I will highly recommend this to friends.” - Landscape Architect
“Excellent seminar! I would recommend to fellow designers. Learned a lot of things that I have been doing wrong so I can avoid mistakes in the future and things I could do better.” – Landscape Architect
