For this presentation I discuss the realities for our Hispanic workers in the tree care industry and the fact that addressing language, culture and education are essential for improving communication, training and safety.

I presented on this topic at TCI EXPO ’24 in Baltimore, where I had a great audience and received excellent feedback. When I started working on that presentation, I realized we had never really addressed language and cultural barriers for our tree workers. Knowing that TCIA and many other resources are beginning to focus more on the Hispanic community, I felt it was an important topic to explore.
