Sometimes it feels like the world is falling on your head. Sometimes it is. When shit gets really tough I resort to a strategy called “all you have to do is everything you can”. It allows you to turn off the thoughts of fear of failure, it allows you to focus on moving forward rather than staying paralysed with anxiety. You find that there’s way more things you can do than you might have first thought once you commit to exhausting all the options. This has worked for me every single time I’ve used it Gonna do a big drive to fill this community up in a week or two. I appreciate yall being here 🫡

Hey all, We're gonna kick this thing into life. I'm holding a webinar at 5pm Friday 21st NZT (10pm Thursday 20 pacific) to gather the industry together and present a solution for canopy loss. Please go forward and spread the word, if you'd like to opt in to communications, send me your email address and I'll put you on the list. I'm going to use the webinar to drive traffic to this community, Apex Arborum will be the hub of an industry movement towards the tree presence model and will be a place of development and discussion of the Evergreen Token (Sempervirens). Please spread the word to everyone you know. Webinar link to follow. It is time to change, we simply cannot continue on this current course.

We’ve had a big influx of folks joining lately, and to you I say WELCOME. Apex Arborum is the flag to rally around for discussion on changing the industry. I have been working on a project called Sempervirens (aka Evergreen Token) for some time, there are resources in the tree presence model course folder in the classroom tab. I want to run a live call in a week or two to talk about it, standby as I build things out

Hi, I run a smallish Tree service business called Gervis Tree Services in Victoria Australia. I’ve been in the industry about 16 years now. I’m a climber but I’ve been doing less on the tools work and more Tree reports. I’m heavily interested in food forestry and syntropic Agroforestry and I’m moving more into designing implementing and managing food forest systems. I originally started my business as a way of saying no to doing Tree work that I didn’t think was necessary.

You’re gonna hear me talk a lot about how the industry mainly sells removal. I want to make a point clear - pruning for reasons other than tree health (a rare case) is still removal. You’re just removing less of the tree. There are a lot of justifications for pruning, and I certainly won’t say all pruning is bad, but we have come to believe it’s good because we’re saving a tree from removal a lot of times. We can do better than damaging trees to save total removal if we build a new industry structure.
