Heartland is passionate about continuing education; one way we approach this is through internal training.

This past winter we organized a winter plant ID training off-site, reviewing dormant season plant diagnostics by way of bud, bark, and stem ID, reinforcing the importance of field science competency in all seasons.

Strong plant ID skills contribute heavily to our team's delineation accuracy and regulatory defensibility.
