Description: Writing, to be effective, must follow closely the thoughts of the writer, but not necessarily in the order in which these thoughts occur. William Strunk Jr.

This workshop provides simple, easy-to-understand instruction to support arborists in writing effective reports. Topics will include report-writing basics, the crucial elements of an effective report, and various report styles, from a simple on-site field reports and estimates to comprehensive booklet-style reports.
