Event Date: 
Tuesday, 14 September 2021 to Thursday, 16 September 2021

Registration is now open for the ArbNet 10th Anniversary Virtual Conference: Partnering to Protect and Plant Trees. September 14–16, 2021

ArbNet celebrated its 10-year anniversary on Arbor Day 2021 (April 30). Similar to a tree's growth, forming branches, leaves, and roots, ArbNet has grown significantly, branching out into a worldwide community of arboreta and establishing itself as an internationally recognized, resourceful network over the last 10 years. To commemorate this milestone, The Morton Arboretum will host a conference that recognizes the valuable tree collections and unique expertise of arboreta. ArbNet 10th Anniversary Virtual Conference: Partnering to Plant & Protect Trees will be an opportunity for ArbNet's community of arboreta and tree-focused professionals to engage with and learn from each other, celebrate institutional and programmatic achievements, and understand how ArbNet can be a resource for their growth.
