The Nebraska Nursery and Landscape Association and the Nebraska Arborists Association are once again teaming up to host the 2018 Nebraska GREAT PLAINS Conference. The committee has worked hard to provide a great line-up of both national and local speakers with a wide variety of topics. If you’re around on Monday evening, we invite you to a pre-conference dinner which will take place at Amatos Cafe (6405 Center St.). Tickets are required. The conference then kicks off on Tuesday, January 23 with dynamic keynote speaker Bob McCall, president of Inspire High Performance. He will present “Getting Your Safety Performance to the Next Level.” The rest of the day will include numerous breakout sessions that cover a broad spectrum of topics. The silent and live auctions will return as well. If you would like to donate an item, please contact the NAA/NNLA office. Wednesday will begin with Jim Rose, our keynote speaker, who will present “Climbing Higher,” a look at athletic trials and triumphs. Breakout sessions will fill the rest of the day along with NAA and NNLA Business Meetings. The conference will also feature a two-day trade show that showcases industry vendors’ latest products, services and equipment.

KEYNOTE: Bob McCall
Bob McCall recently retired with 33 years in the electric utility industry and started his own company called Inspire High Performance, LLC. During his career, Bob held positions from supervisor to regional Vice President and lead teams in five major business units. His mission and passion is to help companies of all industries to develop a high-performing culture where their team members can perform at their top potential every day, thus improving safety, production and processes. It all starts with Leadership. Through his 25 years of studying Leadership, Bob has discovered attributes that work. His passion and success in leading teams to top performance also led to writing his first book titled “Zero Accidents & Injuries: Are You Willing to Pay the Price?” He focuses on leadership, culture, expectations for a high-performing team, dealing with behaviors that destroy team performance, hiring and training individuals to become winners as well as identifying current winners throughout your organization.
Getting your safety performance to the next level
What’s a life worth, are you willing to pay the price to save it? Join Bob McCall as he shares three proven and battle tested steps to improving your team’s performance. Bob believes the power is not in safety rules, but in people who are willing to demonstrate passion, commitment, leadership and engagement from the entire team will create a winning culture of top performers. Bob will share how changing expectations for team culture, team members and getting rid of those who don’t measure up will enable any organization to improve their performance thus raising the bar to the next level. Come prepared to be personally challenged to look within yourself and ask the questions: have I done all I can? Is there one more thing I can do to help my team be safe? Now is the time to act, don’t wait till an unfortunate accident happens and have to live with regrets. Sponsored by the Nebraska Forest Service.

Climbing Higher
In this keynote session, Rose will speak on extraordinary lives that inspire and invigorate us every day.
AVOIDING SITE ANALYSIS PARALYSIS - JODY SHILAN Performing a proper site analysis is critical for your landscape design, estimate, and overall profitability of the project. Unfortunately, many of us rush through them, missing important details and critical information. Jody will show you how to be both fast and accurate by using some of his time-tested trade secrets: determine spot elevations by yourself; use siding and fences to save time; why you must have graph and trace paper; how to correctly and accurately eyeball a property; develop the big concept before you leave; and provide pictures. AWAKEN THE LEADER IN YOU BOB MCCALL Do you want to create high performing teams that work at their top potential every day? Join Bob McCall as he takes you on a journey of improvement. Bob will share powerful proven leadership behaviors that made him a very influential, motivating, engaging leader who develops and inspires team members to perform at their top potential. Bob’s goal is to give you the tools to get your leadership to the next level. Leadership begins with you. UNDERSTANDING FALL PROTECTION PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE ED CARPENTER Want to learn more about the fall protection systems you use and how they should perform? Want to better understand how arborists size up with our work at height systems compared to other industries? Over the past few decades there has been an explosion with choices in climbing equipment, tools and aids, and methods now being utilized to access trees. Work positioning, fall restrict, and fall arrest systems will be defined and explored and both domestic and global standards will be reviewed to compare how our current ANSI Z133 standard views fall protection for arborists.
URBAN FORESTS & ECOSYSTEM SERVICES - MARTIN QUIGLEY All human activities alter the natural landscape, often reducing healthy complexity and disrupting functions. Is it possible for a micro-ecosystem to be replicated by human ingenuity, to create landscapes that will continue to provide some or all of these ecosystem services? Can city parks become forests, and can street trees be a matrix connecting larger island of vegetation? With thoughtful design and installation, and appropriate care of the biotic components, we can make a significant case for maintaining some of the natural process that we have altered. ARE YOUR PROPOSALS SAYING, "PLEASE DON'T WORK WITH US?" JODY SHILAN Your proposals may be sending the wrong message. They may actually be telling your clients “not to work” with you. So many contractors ruin their sales opportunities with poorly written and confusing proposals that don’t make sense. Learn how to create a template to properly write, organize and present a proposal: Create a master proposal template; Build the proposal the way that you build the job; Three “Magic Words” that drive competitors crazy; Nobody cares about how much quarry process you use; When it comes to pricing, use a hybrid. PLANT HEALTH CARE - KENT R. HONI A good Plant Health Care program can set your tree care business apart from the competition. Yet most customers do not call up asking for Plant Health Care services. As an arborist you need to educate and enroll your customers in the philosophy behind Plant Health Care. This process can increase the effectiveness of your treatments and turn your clients into allies in the campaign to maintain plant health. In this presentation, Kent Honl will
discuss his experience with the Plant Health Care services offered at Rainbow Tree Care. THE SUSTAINABLE GREAT PLAINS LANDSCAPE - LUCINDA MAYS Strong and lasting landscapes are based on environmental realities. The parent soils, the weather cycles, the seasonal responses of plants and animals. When we take into account our native soils, water, weather, and wildlife, we develop more beautiful, useful, and healthy surroundings. Topics include practical aspects of soil work, water use, and plant selection, and some of the processes for planning, planting, and developing the campus landscape of Chadron State College in Nebraska’s Pine Ridge. CLIMATE CHANGE DR. ELWYNN TAYLOR Any person interested in the nature of climate and how plants adapt will find Dr. Taylor’s work of benefit. His clear explanations of the workings of frost protection to the avoidance of heat exhaustion to El Nino and how it impacts the Midwest will open new levels of understanding our enigmatic environment. LEADERSHIP FOR CREW LEADERS, MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS ED CARPENTER Want to learn how to inspire others to action? Want to learn the skills it takes to become an effective leader? Most arborists get into the field of arboriculture because they, enjoy the physical and technical aspects of the job. As they advance their carriers and find themselves in a supervisory role, often little to no training is provided on the “soft skills” of effective communication, motivating employees, and creating a culture of accountability. This talk will provide some simple and real-world examples of ways to inspire others to action through leading by example.
MAKING YOUR GARDEN CENTER/ GREENHOUSE MORE EFFICIENT DON JOSKO With today’s economy and the competition for every dollar in your garden center have you looked at your own efficiencies to make as much profit out of the dollars received? This workshop will look at opportunities to avoid losses of profit dollars to energy, labor reduction, and losses to bulk items that may be draining your profits! Come join the discussion on making your greenhouse/ garden center more dollar profit efficient! THE STATE OF AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS AND A.I. - EAN MIKALE This session will cover the current progress and direction of the commercial drone industry, including an overview of current innovations, use cases across diverse industries, and the significance of the integration of embedded super computing with artificial intelligence in autonomous systems. SECURING YOUR TECHNOLOGY IN THE DIGITAL AGE - THOR SCHROCK Remember when securing your technology meant having antivirus and a firewall? If that is still your mindset this session will be your wake-up call. As governmentgrade hacking tools make their way onto the dark web your home, business, and identity are all at risk. There is no such thing as perfect security, but we will cover some basics that can raise the bar. A HAPPY MARRIAGE: DESIGN INTEGRATION OF HOUSE & LANDSCAPE - BOBBIE SCHWARTZ The attempt to reconcile house and landscape is not new but we are still learning how to work toward this goal. Using examples from classic and modern landscapes, designers will learn several different approaches for resolution of this frequent dichotomy.
JAPANESE BEETLES JONATHAN LARSON Japanese beetle is an invasive pest that caused extreme damage to many trees last summer. In this session Dr. Larson will teach you how to identify this hungry, hungry beetle, describe its life cycle and feeding habits, and build a defense plan to prevent damage in 2018. You will walk away with talking points you can use when helping your clients so that they know you are providing the best care available for their trees. UPDATES TO THE ANSI Z133 SAFETY STANDARD 2017- ED CARPENTER Would you like to learn about the newest revisions to the ANSI Z133 Safety Standard? Since its initial publication in 1972 the “Z” as it has come to be known in the arboriculture industry as a collective body of knowledge of industry professionals’ safety best practices. The 2017 “Z” has undergone significant changes and this talk will highlight some of these newest revisions. DESIGN & MAINTENANCE OF PERENNIAL GARDENS BOBBIE SCHWARTZ A discussion of the principles of design as demonstrated in large and small gardens, factors to consider in selecting and combining perennials, and ways in which design can lessen maintenance. THE FUTURE OF EVERGREENS: WILL THESE TREES CONTINUE TO SURVIVE IN NEBRASKA? TODD FALLER A discussion on where the possible future lies with conifers in our area and an update on the successes and failures experienced with varieties used or underused.
IMPACTS OF EAB & TREATMENTS ON THE STABILITY OF ASH ERIC NORTH What science says about the stability and the potential hazards of working in EAB infested ash trees. Also the current science on the effects of preventative injection treatments on the discoloration and decay in ash. HERBICIDE DAMAGE KEVIN HOLDORF This presentation will include various ways herbicides cause damage to ourselves, to others, and to the environment and how the applicator/handler/retailer can prevent it from happening. TREES AS WITNESSES - ERIC NORTH Arborists are frequently called to assess claims of damage to trees by a second party. Without management records or direct evidence of the damage it can be difficult to determine what impact an action or event had on the growth of trees. Case studies will be presented where tree-ring analysis was considered as evidence in legal disputes regarding alleged damage to trees. EMERGENCY ACTION PLANNING & RESPONSE FOR ARBORISTS ED CARPENTER Would you and your team know what to do in case of an emergency on the job site? How often do you practice emergency response procedures congruent with the actual type of work you perform on a regular basis? The realities of emergency response on the job site, often find workers unprepared when an emergency arises. Emergency Action Planning begins prior to the work beginning, and should be in alignment with the types of work being performed. Emergency response planning and procedures will be discussed and demonstrated.
