Focus for 2023: Sponge City, Tree Management and Rope Climbing Techniques
The effects of climate change, extreme weather events, are increasing and presenting cities and planners with major challenges. A forward-looking solution is the Sponge City, a model which focuses on both the importance of trees and the necessity of keeping them healthy. At the conference the results of the latest research will be presented and possible solutions will be discussed. The focus, as always, is on the practical implementation of the latest knowledge and the international exchange of experience.
As in previous years, all lectures at the German Tree Care Days will be translated simultaneously, namely German/English and English/German. The headphones are available to conference participants free of charge at the conference counter.
In 2023, we are expecting around 150 exhibitors from Germany and abroad to form Europe's largest tree care trade fair. We have once again enlarged the exhibition area to give all exhibitors the optimal chance to present and display their products.
30 years of German Tree Care Conference in Augsburg
The inaugural Tree Care Conference took place in Augsburg in 1993 and was organised by Dr Steffen Wiebe as a two-day event. In the years that followed, the conference grew larger and more diverse to include specialist lectures, a climbing forum and a trade fair. Our conference is now Europe's largest tree care event.
Specialist partner in 2023 is the University of Applied Science and Art (HAWK) of Göttingen. And we are delighted about the strong participation of the university in our conference. In this, our anniversary year, we are again expecting a broad range of participants and exhibitors from Germany and abroad.
The chance to see a live presentation and the opportunity to meet peers, colleagues and contacts, new and old, face to face, is difficult via video conference. This year we're allocating an area in the hall to allow for more opportunities to meet.
We look forward to interesting talks and discussions in Augsburg!

Yearbook of Tree Care
The Yearbook of Tree Care (Jahrbuch der Baumpflege) is published annually on the occasion of the German Tree Care Conference in Augsburg. It contains technical articles relating to the lectures given at the respective conference and also details the scientific poster exhibition. As the main topics of the conference change every year, collectively, the Tree Care Yearbook forms a complementary series of books. It is both a reference work and reference book in one. In addition, it contains addresses of associations and research institutions and an address directory of arboriculture for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. For details of the complete yearbooks published to date, there is also an index with a list of authors and an index of key words.
The Tree Care Yearbook is used by experienced practitioners, arborists, experts and scientists alike as a vital source of information. Within you will find the latest specialist knowledge, scientific advancements all similarly and comprehensibly presented.
