Getting To The Root of Tree Safety

We've been having a lot of conversations about trees lately, following the incident on May 7th, where a tree fell on the Jalan Sultan Ismail road in Kuala Lumpur, killing a man and injuring one more. Calls to hire more arborists have been made following this incident. So we thought we'd speak to one, about how arborists contribute to a safer environment. Later, we discuss the notion of including trees when urban planning.
