Joe Dietz has always considered himself an artist. Although he graduated from UW-Stout with a degree in graphic design, he now uses nature as his canvas as a full-time instructor of Landscape Horticulture at Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC). “Landscaping to me is an art form where you are using plants and other landscape materials to create artwork that will change over time as the plants grow,” he says.
Students in the Arborist Technician program at Mid-State Technical College recently enjoyed a full day of hands-on training in vegetation management around power lines, thanks to support and equipment provided by local utilities and tree service companies.
