Our featured speaker, Michael Kidd, Owner of Root Design Studio, will walk through the key components of the new ordinance and explain how these changes affect development projects, design decisions, compliance strategies, and permitting processes. With 20+ years of experience in landscape architecture, Michael brings a practical, real-world perspective on navigating these new requirements. 

Topics will include:

• Impacts on site planning, design, and development feasibility 
• Compliance considerations and common pitfalls to avoid
• Best practices for coordinating with the City and project teams

The ACEC Georgia Land Development Coalition is chaired by Dan Wintermeyer with VHB and meets on a quarterly basis. This forum is designed to bring together land development professionals to discuss common challenges to their unique business issues, potential solutions, and how ACEC Georgia might engage to address those concerns.

You'll leave with a clearer understanding of how the new Tree Ordinance impacts your projects and practical guidance for incorporating these requirements into your development process.  

Please note, there is limited space available for in-person, but the presentation will also be avilable via Teams.
