會員們:

在亞洲,從來沒有洋人或華人,舉辦過一次 Dr. Alex Shigo '現代樹藝學’ 的完整教學。可能會有樹藝師買過他的書,但一般都看不明白。

Shigo博士是國際上公認的 '現代樹藝學’ 之父,他的 ‘樹木生物學’ (Tree biology) 理論,推翻了傳統園藝學對樹木科學的知識; 他的 ‘樹木創傷板隔化’ (CODIT) 模式,改寫了樹木修剪的技術; 他的 ‘根菌共生’(Symbiosis) 研究,改變了傳統樹木施肥概念; 他的 ‘樹體腐朽發展’ (Tree decay) 研究,對 ‘樹木風險評估’ 有著莫大貢獻; 他的 ‘樹木病理學’ (Tree pathology) ,改寫了傳統樹木病害的治理方法。 Shigo博士畢生致力研究發不了財的 ‘樹木生物學’ ,推倒了傳統園藝的 ‘樹木研究’ ,發表過數百篇科學論文,震驚了樹木界。 可以說,沒有Shigo博士的貢獻,國際樹藝行業不會發展到今天蓬勃,全球各地也不會有各種形式的樹藝組織出現。

那麼偉大的 ‘現代樹藝之父’ 的幾本教材,在大中華地區十二年來的各種各樣技術講座、證照訓練班、文憑課程當中,竟然沒有一次有洋人或華人把其當中一本,用連續課堂教學模式,完完整整的把知識傳授給學生。目前只有見過臺灣有 ‘樹木醫’,把當中的 ‘木質結構學’ 去演譯 ‘樹木修剪’,但也只是觸及皮毛而矣。 這不禁令人聯想到,本地區的所謂 ‘樹藝教學’,除了針對 ‘考牌’ 以外,還懂些甚麼?

CAA歐會長現在運用他三十多年來的樹木知識,加上他多年週遊列國參加會議訓練的經驗,把Shigo博士當中一本的教科書 ‘Modern Arboriculture’ 解讀,然配合這方面的最新教材研究,編成了一系列的教學講座 (大概 ‘10 - 15課’) ,以簡單不沉悶的形式,貢獻給有興趣學習這方面的會員。

由於這十多課的 ‘Modern Arboriculture’ 會用教學模式講出,也會鼓勵出席者互動交流,形式將會与過去以個人經歷作為介紹為主的講座有所不同。 所以本會在完成整個教學流程以後,會向參加者發出 ‘出席證書’ (Certificate of Attendance) ,格式有如附件所示,列明出席率,以表明參加者的投入程度。

這次訂房,本會只獲分配一個50人的小房。 假若參加人數嚴重超標,本會將會考慮另選日子多開一班,以滿足要求。

最後一提,假若您叫自己做 ‘樹藝師’ ,還去幫人家進行 '驗樹', 但對Shigo博士的知識只是懂得一點小皮毛,可能您需要評估您的專業水平究竟達到那裡。 因為無論考 ‘註冊樹藝師’ 到 ‘顧問樹藝師’ 的各階層證照 (http://www.chinaarbor.com/%E7%89%8C%E7%85%A7%E5%88%86%E7%B1%BB/%E6%A8%B9%E8%97%9D%E5%B8%AB%E5%88%B6%E5%BA%A6/ ),進行任何的 ‘樹木檢查’ , 都會涉及這位 ‘現代樹藝之父’ 的技術知識。 目前世界沒有一個 ‘樹藝證照’ 考試,能夠超越Shigo博士的全套理論,只能學習研究他的教材技術,才會慢慢懂得使用。 不然,雖然持有 ‘證照’ ,你還持有信心和能力,去面對客戶的各種挑戰嗎?

Dear Station Members,

CAA is proud to present our 38th session of Arboricultural Education on tree planting to benefit our members. This time it is on the textbook teaching of Dr. Alex Shigo of ‘Modern Arboriculture’. This will be run as a series of 10 – 15 sessions, depending on how quickly the Speaker can prepare his notes.

It is not known in the past 12 years in the China Region, any person or organization has ever attempted to deliver Dr. Shigo’s teaching in a lecture form. This may be the first time ever in our territory that someone is trying to start up this important topic. Dr. Shigo has introduced excellent work to inspire the world on modern tree care from pruning to risk assessment. Not knowing his knowledge but only busy preparing for credential exams, may be putting the cart before the horse.

Although the lectures are based upon the textbook ‘Modern Arboriculture – Touch Tree’ of Dr. Shigo, reference materials will be taken from a range of international literature & research as supplements. The details are given below as information.

It is recommended that the attendees will bring along their own copy of " Modern Arboriculture - Touch Tree" as their textbook to the lecture seminar. This book can be obtained at ISA & other courses online.

In Session 38, the details are as follows:
