BTS owner, Tammy Kovar, will be attending the 2010 STIHL Tour Des Trees for the third consecutive year on July 18th through 24th, 2010. The event is the largest annual fundraiser for the TREE Fund, which is currently the leading non-governmental source of funding for research and education programs in the field of arboriculture (the science of cultivating and managing trees in a landscape).
Their mission is to identify and fund projects and programs which advance knowledge in the field of arboriculture and urban forestry to benefit people, trees and the environment. The foundation has distributed more than $6 million to date, in the form of scholarships and research grants to students and professionals in the industry.
