SUMMARY:Free Webinar: The Influence of Municipal Pruning Practices on Urban Forest Health and Storm Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Municipalities across the U.S. are increasingly challenged to fund and perform systematic tree pruning activities that enhance urban tree health and longevity\, maximize ecosystem service benefits\, improve climate and storm resilience\, and minimize public risk. Only (46%) of 667 U.S. communities surveyed in 2014 reported completing tree pruning on a systematic basis. Dr. Richard Hauer will share the benefits of systematic pruning and the status of pruning in U.S. cities. Dr. Leslie Brandt will spotlight tree maintenance practices\, innovations and challenges from 10 case studies in the U.S. Through analysis of decades of systematic pruning data in Milwaukee\, Randy Krouse will demonstrate the importance of pruning cycle/forest structure alignment on forest health and resilience\, tree maintenance capacity\, storm resilience and public safety. Finally\, Paul Johnson will wrap up the discussion by highlighting current and emergent resource aids for improved urban forest management. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is open to all. We are seeking 1 CEU with the International Society of Arboriculture.

SUMMARY:Urban Forest Connections Webinar: Taking Flight - Urban Forest Stewardship for Bird Conservation using i-Tree Eco Software
DESCRIPTION:Each May\, World Migratory Bird Day brings attention to one of the most important and spectacular events in the Americas – bird migration – and reminds us that many birds aren’t connected to a single place\, but survive and even thrive in diverse habitats during often long and arduous passage across a broad swath of landscapes and ecosystems in an increasingly urbanized planet. Dr. Wayne Arendt and Jerry Bauer\, both with the USDA Forest Service’sInternational Institute of Tropical Forestry based in San Juan\, Puerto Rico\, will share how the combination of decades of bird data linked to natural and innate variables generated by US Forest Service i-Tree and i-Tree Eco software can provide new insights into the many ways highly disparate and dispersed urban green areas\, including urban forests with their complex structure\, composition and diverse mixture of native and introduced species\, can influence urban bird biodiversity and promote natural and anthropogenic ecosystem services provided to Santo Domingo\, and the city’s reciprocity promoting sustainable and functional benefits to trees\, birds and all incumbent life forms. Robert Northrop\, an extension forester with the University of Florida\, will discuss what this means for urban forest stewardship\, and how local decisions can have a synergistic impact on urban terrestrial and marine resident and migratory birds\, ecosystem services and human well-being across a migratory landscape. \n\n\n\n1 ISA CEU available

SUMMARY:TREE Fund Webinar: Loading of a Tie-in Point While Climbing
DESCRIPTION:Loading of a Tie-in Point While Climbing \n\n\n\nTuesday\, February 9\, 2021\, at 12 p.m. Central \n\n\n\nBrian Kane\, PhD\, University of Massachusetts Amherst \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCLICK HERE To Register\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nChoosing an appropriate tie-in point (TIP) is a key to efficiently and safely work in a tree. A TIP that’s high and central in the crown provides maximum mobility for a climber\, but the TIP also has to be strong enough to bear the loads associated with climbing. Until recently\, very few measurements of such loads were taken. Starting with the ITCC in 2017\, Dr. Kane has measured loads at the TIP for a variety of situations including ascents\, descents\, limb walks and swings\, and falls. This presentation will present the findings from those studies. \n\n\n\nISA and SAF continuing education credits are available for watching the entire live webinar. CEU details: \n\n\n\nSAF CEU Cat 2: 1.00 \n\n\n\nISA CEU Category: Practice: 1\, Climber Specialist: 1\, Certified Arborist: 1\, Municipal Specialist: 1\, Aerial Lift: 1 \n\n\n\nThis webinar is co-sponsored by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System

SUMMARY:ISA Virtual Annual Conference & Trade Show
DESCRIPTION:ISA has made the difficult decision to cancel our in-person 2020 ISA Annual International Conference and Trade Show slated for 15-17 December 2020. The safety and well-being of our attendees\, members\, employees\, partners and vendors remains our top priority. This decision was made due to recent developments in COVID-19 cases\, the restrictions placed by public health officials on large gatherings through 2020 in Albuquerque\, New Mexico\, and the overall climate surrounding travel and meetings. We want to take this time to thank the ISA Rocky Mountain Chapter for their leadership throughout the entire planning process. The members of the Conference Planning Committee were prepared to host an exceptional conference and we cannot thank them enough for their insights and efforts. While we are disappointed we will not be able to meet in person this year\, we are excited to announce that ISA is working towards a virtual experience where attendees will have the opportunity to earn continuing education units\, listen to Keynote Speakers\, engage with presentations and presenters\, and network with their peers from the comfort of their homes. ISA plans on making this event accessible on a global scale reflecting our international community\, and we look forward to sharing more information in the coming weeks on how to participate in this virtual experience. ISA thanks all of its members\, attendees\, and partners for their continued support and enthusiasm for this event\, and we look forward to meeting virtually this year\, and in-person as soon as we are able to do so safely. \n\n\n\nMore information can be found on the ISA website.
