Webinar Series: The End of Tree Plagues June 7-8: 1-3pm EST
Event Description
Sustainable City Network will present an online training course for any personnel who are responsible for initiatives related to urban forestry, parks and/or tree canopy management.
This course will be presented in two 2-hour sessions held on consecutive days, June 7 and 8, 2017. Both class sessions begin promptly at 10 a.m. Pacific, 11 a.m. Mountain, noon Central and 1 p.m. Eastern. The sessions will be recorded so registrants may attend live or via on-demand streaming video.
The End of Tree Plagues is a workshop for civil engineers, landscape architects, architects, urban foresters, planners, or anyone responsible for the care of trees. It will provide professionals the tools to communicate and implement a staged Ash tree canopy removal and replacement with a resilient future forest for their community.
Since 1902, the United States, has suffered through three catastrophic tree plagues. Chestnut Blight and Dutch Elm Disease led to the premature loss of hundreds of millions of our great American Chestnut and American Elm forests. About a decade ago in the Upper Midwest, Emerald Ash Borer hit our American Ash trees. Arborists and community foresters nationwide, are in full crisis mode to pro-actively manage EAB, for both canopy and budget impacts.

I would like to share something really amazing with you ! I recently stumbled upon a cool new project called "Natures" on planting Paulownia trees.
