SUMMARY:Free Urban Forest Connections Webinar: Decision Tools for Local Governments: Responding to Ecosystems in Distress
DESCRIPTION:California and the Pacific Islands have long been on the frontier of extreme climate events and natural resource management in cities and communities. Urban forests have been a focus for federal research and state forestry assistance in California since the early 1980s\, leveraging public resources to support healthy trees and forest cover. In this webinar\, we will explore current research in the region and highlight a model\, long-term partnership with California Polytechic State University (Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo) Urban Forest Ecosystems Institute. With fresh funding from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)\, we will learn about new directions and how local governments are using the tools. And we will have dialogue with our community of practice to catalyze replication of the partnership in other states\, and application of the tools at a national scale. \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n\nNatalie van Doorn\, USDA Forest Service \n\n\n\nMatt Ritter\, Cal-Poly-San Luis Obispo \n\n\n\nIan Kesterson\, City of Berkeley\n\n\n\n\nCEU available to attendees.

SUMMARY:EAB University Webinar: Firewood Movement Regulation\, Outreach\, and Impact
DESCRIPTION:Firewood movement regulations\, recommendations\, outreach\, and forest pests’ distribution change through time. The Don’t Move Firewood campaign is a leader in this space\, not only for excellence in communicating behavior change messages to the public\, but also as a professional resource to track and communicate regulatory frameworks and pest range shift information. This presentation will cover the basics of current firewood regulations in the USA\, what resources Don’t Move Firewood has for both the layperson and for forest and firewood professionals\, and- when it all comes together- how we can slow the spread of damaging forest pests and pathogens across the country. \n\n\n\nLeigh Greenwood\, Forest Pest and Pathogen Program Director\, TNC \n\n\n\nCEU available to attendees.
