Dear EAC Members, Friends and Colleagues, dear Arborists

Due to climate change and intensive heat waves since March, our city trees have been exposed to particular hardships. In many countries the third dry summer in a row has left noticeable bad traces in the vitality of urban trees and has encouraged pests and diseases such as oak processionary moth, sooty bark disease and ash dieback. Trees, however, are one of our solutions to the climate change. With all their welfare effects, they provide a better quality of life in cities, a more agreeable micro climate, cooling and fine dust binding. Under these circumstances, precise planning of tree planting becomes more and more important. Choosing suitable trees for a suitable location is most critical, while professional tree care, ranging from young to full-grown mature trees by certified arborists ensures vital, safe trees which each citizen enjoys.
Trees require strong lobbying – we in EAC take care of it!
Yours
Wolfgang Gross
EAC Secretary
