Equip Exposition Unveils Tree Care Arena for Arbor Day 2025

To commemorate Arbor Day on April 25, the renowned Equip Exposition is set to introduce the Tree Care Arena during its annual trade show from October 21-24 at the Kentucky Exposition Center, Louisville. This new feature promises not only to honor trees but also to cultivate knowledge and skills related to tree care among industry professionals.

A Living Laboratory for Learning

The Tree Care Arena, sponsored by Altec, aims to be a hands-on experience where attendees can observe live demonstrations of tree care techniques. A significant highlight will be the use of a 50-foot-tall tree, which will serve as a focal point for educational activities. Trainers from The Davey Institute will conduct daily training sessions emphasizing safety protocols, equipment usage, and various tree care techniques executed by professionals in the field.

Kris Kiser, President and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), expressed the importance of this initiative, stating, “For landscapers, tree care can be an excellent way to grow their profits and service lines.” He further emphasized that trees hold great significance for communities that cherish green spaces.

What to Expect at the Arena

The Tree Care Arena will engage participants with:

• - Live demonstrations showcasing pruning and limb removal techniques using state-of-the-art outdoor power equipment.
• - Hands-on training for safely utilizing equipment such as bucket trucks, lifts, and chainsaws, all integral for effective tree care.
• - Instructional sessions on general tree care practices, including planting, mulching, and the nuances of trimming both trees and shrubs.
• - Insights into the business potential available within tree care services, helping landscapers to expand their service offerings.

This educational experience will be complimentary for all Equip Exposition attendees, ensuring everyone can participate without incurring additional costs.
