Tim O'Hare in demand for speaking engagements
Soil and landscape consultant Tim O’Hare, Principal Consultant at BALI Registered Affiliate Tim O’Hare Associates (TOHA), is in demand to talk at symposia at home and abroad.
Next week Tim will speak to delegates at the Arboricultural Association’s 52nd National Amenity Conference: Soils and Trees - Standing your Ground, at the University of Exeter from 10th-12th September. Tim’s presentation, ‘Technical soil challenges for tree planting in urban environments’, will feature in the ‘Rural into Urban – Effective Planning’ session on the second day of the conference (Tuesday 11th).
Tim has also been invited by Soils Science Australia to be a keynote speaker at the National Soils Conference in Canberra this November when he will give a talk on Urban Soils in Practice: The Olympic Park Soil Strategy. TOHA was responsible for the design and implementation of the soil strategy for the Olympic Park, which, at the time, was the largest regeneration project ever attempted in the UK. It remains an exemplar of how early involvement by soil scientists at the design stage and a coordinated approach between disciplines throughout the implementation and maintenance periods can deliver schemes that stand the test of time.
No stranger to the conference platform, Tim is currently finalising plans for his own highly successful soils conference SoilsCon, which returns to Phyllis Court, Henley-on-Thames in October 2019. Full information on the theme and speakers will be published in the New Year.
