SCA FIELD DAY 2026
COMING SOON

​Wednesday, August 12

​Join us in Detroit, MI for the 2026 SCA Field Day, an immersive, on-the-ground experience designed to connect education, industry, and community. This Field Day will feature a behind-the-scenes visit to a local tree care-related business, paired with an engaging keynote that highlights real-world challenges, innovation, and best practices in commercial arboriculture.

 

The day will also include a relaxed networking opportunity at a local brewery, providing the perfect setting to connect with peers, share ideas, and strengthen professional relationships within the arboriculture community.

 

Additional details coming soon! If you are interested in participating, sponsoring, or otherwise being involved, please contact us at admin@sca-trees.org.
