It has been a busy 10 days since returning from NYC...things are really taking shape for this years Tour Des Trees.
I am getting really excited about the 2009 Black Bear Adventures tour season...with all the economic distress going on our season is shaping up quite well. A blessed man indeed!
Thanks to all that make it happen!

Leaving the Big City today...great couple of days in NY & CT. I feel confident that the 2009 Tour des Trees will be a big success! All chapters and local arborculture associations are fully behind the event. Can't wait to come back in the Spring!

Long day...but a good day. Left Charleston at 6:00 am and got to my hotel in NY (very cool digs by the way - 6 Columbus Hotel) at 1:30 pm. Took a long walk (6 miles) around Central Park to orient myself for tomorrows meeting and 2009 TDT Grand Kick-Off! Very cool...but afterwards showed that I am better suited to open spaces that I am to a typical urban environment...got lost on the subway and spent the next hour plus trying figure out where I was. Oh well, big meeting tomorrow with Park officials and Central Park Conservancy.
