23.01.2022 Register now for the Trees For Liveable Cites Forum! https://event.icebergevents.com.au/iaca20/cost-registration Taking a closer look at one of our valuable speakers Ross Clark!... Since graduating in Forestry and a following brief academic career, Ross has worked continuously in the production and improvement of landscape trees. He is now a leading consultant, adviser and industry spokesperson for improved tree quality and specifications, frequently conducts clinics, addresses seminars for industry groups and lectures at educational institutions. He created the "NATSPEC" specification for trees (published by Construction Information Systems P/L in 1996 and revised in 2003) which became widely accepted as the industry's strictest standard. This standard was adopted by the nursery industry (in a slightly modified form) as AS 2303:2015, which has now evolved into AS 2303:2018 Tree stock for landscape use. Ross was on the committee charged with the creation of AS 2303:2018 and was heavily involved with ensuring the inclusion of a number of key criteria. In addition to continuing to help grow the very best larger trees available, grown at Karignan Plantation and marketed through Trees Impact, his more recent focus is looking at the success of our Urban Trees more holistically.

Sara Barron has joined the School of Ecosystem and Forest Science at the University of Melbourne as a lecturer in urban horticulture. She comes from the University of British Columbia (UBC) where she helped develop their new Bachelor of Urban Forestry program while completing a PhD in urban forestry. Her doctoral research focused on how suburban landscapes can be re-imagined to balance healthy suburban forests with higher density housing. Prior to starting her PhD, Sara worked for a number of years on large-scale sustainable community planning and climate change research projects with both the Design Centre for Sustainability and the Collaborative for Advanced Landscape Planning. Her current research interests include scaleable design interventions to help facilitate the creation of healthy, climate-ready cities of the future.
