ISA HK/China --- Tree Failures Workshop by Prof. Mattheck at CUGE, Singapore

Dear Station Members,

Please kindly find attached a very relevant Tree Failures training course offered by CUGE in Singapore from August 22 - 24, 2007.

The trainer of the course is the world famous Professor Claus Mattheck who has spent years in Tree Failures research & has produced numerous research reports published in Europe & ISA. Professor Mattheck is also an award winner for many tree related events & is well respected in the international arbor community. CUGE has this foresight & connection to invite this VIP over to lead them on Tree Failures, which in reality, would be a more relevant subject to HK/China because of our frequent events over here in typhoons or not.

The Station Manager himself is deeply interested in attending this very important training because he is interested to study Tree Failures over the years, despite from just returning from the Hawaiian Conference. However, he has a CITA lecture to give in the evening of August 22 & needs to look for help in replacement to relieve himself to attend the training.

If anyone would like to attend this important training, please kindly enrol yourself directly with CUGE or contact this Station for further arrangement.

Thank you for your kind attention.

best regards,

Sammy Au
Station Manager
