Chief Arborist Peter Fixler was awarded Production Arborist of the Year by the Penn-Del Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture!
Peter was awarded at Penn-Del ISA's 59th Annual Shade Tree Symposium in honor of the his contribution to advancing quality arboriculture through innovation, selflessness, and the promotion of safe work practices. Each year, Peter teaches the Morris's arboriculture interns how to safely climb trees and trains them in current arboricultural practices—his work comprehensively reduces tree-related risk at the Morris Arboretum and Gardens and beyond.
