會員們:

本會為上次的“樹木結構風力學” 講座取得超額參與完成，非常感謝會員們的支持，這也證明了正確的樹藝知識是受到廣大歡迎，真的是假不了吧。

 

本會的下一個講座，就是膾炙人口的 "樹藝與法律" 這個重要課題，也是為何樹藝行業在西方國家風行百多年的基礎，為何樹藝行業在西方社會那麼受到重視的原因。

 

很多人都不知道，在西方國家“普通法” 的概念下，樹木設計不良可以告、樹木管理不善可以告、樹木檢查不當可以告、樹木亂修亂移可以告、樹木條例不妥善可以告。  在樹木工作方面，不遵循安全工序可以告、工傷意外可以告、設備不符可以告、工人行為不儉可以告。  如果發生樹木斷塌意外則更麻煩，除了樹木屬主和苦主以外，保險賠償往往牽涉在內，更有可能涉及勞動部門，最終的裁決可能又要跑到法院去解決。

 

在西方國家，樹藝官司的數量一向排在所有綠化官司之首，案例多得如天上星星。  如果有人以為樹藝行業只是隨便的在人前搖晃牌照、填填表格那麼簡單，以謂自己 “專業了” 便掛上免死金牌，那肯定是愚人自弄，聰明笨伯而矣。

 

樹藝與法律息息相關，法院判案的時候，經常需要借用樹藝行業裡面的研究和標準，由雙方律師來演繹。  樹藝師，特別是 “顧問樹藝師” ，往往被指定成為 “專家證人” ，提供相關的行業規範來協助律師在庭上表演。 

 

這次講座也由歐永森會長來親自主持； 衆所周之，歐會長三十年來從未敗過一場樹木官司，絕對精彩。

由於講座時間只有兩個小時，內面涉及的知識水平也在 “資深樹藝師” 證照以上，講者需要把深奧的知識研究抽真塑簡，配合西方國家各種案例，把這個龐大而復雜的課題，盡量用最平民化的口語講出，讓一般的 “注冊樹藝師” 水平的人也能夠聽懂明白，不會浪費他們的時間和熱忱，這也就是本次講座的精華所在。

 

本會過去所有的講座和工作坊的 CEU 學分都已統統拿到，證明本會所辦的學術傳播絕對達到國際水平，從來不負眾望。
