Urban tree planting is evolving — and so are the expectations around sustainability, safety, and long-term tree success.

In this Grounds for Change session, we’ll explore how innovative tree support systems are helping projects move beyond traditional staking methods to deliver stronger establishment outcomes with a lower environmental footprint.

Join us for a practical, coffee-fuelled conversation about Tree Coach 2, a closed-loop, modular tree support system designed to improve tree stability, reduce installation risks, and support healthier root development. We’ll unpack how modern support systems can help address common urban planting challenges, improve consistency across projects, and contribute to more sustainable infrastructure outcomes.

Grab a mug and gain insight into:

• The limitations of traditional staking methods in modern urban landscapes
• How Tree Coach 2 supports tree establishment and reduces maintenance requirements
• Sustainability benefits including reclaimed and recycled material use and reduced single-use timber waste
• Where tree support systems fit within broader green infrastructure and urban canopy strategies
• Real project examples and specification considerations

Whether you’re designing streetscapes, managing council planting programs, or delivering landscape projects, this session will help you rethink how tree establishment contributes to long-term landscape performance.

This session will be followed by the opportunity for attendees to ask questions, as well as share projects and ideas.
