SUMMARY:Agroforestry: Apple Tree Grafting with Dan Bussey
DESCRIPTION:Apple Historian Dan Bussey is widely known for his expertise as the author of The Illustrated History of Apples In the US and Canada and his previous work as Orchard Manager for Seed Savers Exchange. Dan has been dedicated to the preservation and management of heirloom species\, and has brought many of them back from the brink of extinction. Although his work chronicles 16\,350 apple varietal listings\, he will be working with us to share the diversity of apples at the Riveredge Farm. Participants will learn how to graft 3 species of apples\, currently growing at our permaculture Farm\, onto M-2 semi-dwarf root stock. Registered participants get to take home 3 grafted apple trees in 7-gallon felt pots. \n\n\n\n\n\nTo register\, visit https://secure.riveredgenaturecenter.org/np/clients/riveredgenaturecenter/eventRegistration.jsp?forwardedFromSecureDomain=1&event=1671

SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop: Overcoming Barriers in Urban Tree Planting and Care
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual workshop entitled Overcoming Barriers in Urban Tree Planting and Care featuring speakers from across the United States. The event is Thursday February 13\, 12-2pm pacific / 1-3pm mountain / 2-4pm central / 3-5pm eastern. This event will address crucial questions for equitable and sustainable urban forest management\, including: What are the barriers facing urban tree planting initiatives from the perspectives of residents\, community leaders\, and practitioners? How do these concerns and challenges relate to the larger tree management life cycle\, and the experiences of people from different neighborhoods? How can these barriers be overcome\, particularly in low-income and low-canopy areas? Each speaker will address solutions to address challenges\, and there will be an open Q&A with all speakers.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nElektra Fike-Data\, Tree San Diego  \n\n\n\nEdith de Guzman\, University of California\, Los Angeles \n\n\n\nLindsay Darling\, Morton Arboretum \n\n\n\nHamil Pearsall\, Temple University \n\n\n\nLiz Riedman\, US Environmental Protection Agency \n\n\n\nModerators: Lara Roman & Michelle Carr\, USDA Forest Service \n\n\n\nBios of the speakers are included at the link below.

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.

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.
