SUMMARY:New Urban Forestry Podcast - Internet of Nature
DESCRIPTION:PlanIT Geo Partners with the Internet of Nature Podcast to Scout the Future of Urban ForestryArvada\, CO — PlanIT Geo™\, the industry leader in urban forestry software and consulting services\, has partnered with the Internet of Nature Podcast to explore the future of urban forestry over a 10-episode season. The Internet of Nature Podcast\, created and hosted by Dr. Nadina Galle\, uses interviews with thought-leaders and innovators to answer the question: Can nature and technology — long viewed as opposing forces — work together to create liveable cities and improve public health?This collaboration was born out of a shared enthusiasm for trees and technology. As pioneers of urban forestry software\, PlanIT Geo worked with Dr. Galle to select nine key topics facing the future of urban forestry. Dr. Galle will interview experts from the public\, private\, or nonprofit sectors to unpack each topic and discuss the implications for cities of the future.Expect powerful stories\, questions usually shied away from\, and the latest ideas from those working to tackle urban forestry’s biggest challenges. New episodes will be released on Wednesdays and are available on all major podcast platforms. The first episode will be released on April 5th here. Each episode will also have a companion blog expanding on the discussion released here.“Over four seasons and now into its fifth\, the Internet of Nature Podcast has pushed the conversation on nature and technology forwards\, inspiring a global audience along the way.

This is an enormous opportunity for communities large and small\, and i-Tree is here to help. We will hold two free\, one-hour workshops during the first week of May for an in-depth look at what i-Tree tools can offer. We will also host online office hours to answer i-Tree technical questions. Find a shareable/printable flyer with this information here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow:\n\n\n\nPlease register here to participate. All are welcome. Sessions will be live streamed on Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:i-Tree for Funding Opportunities - May 2023
DESCRIPTION:What:\n\n\n\nUrban and Community Forestry is making headlines this spring. In April\, USDA’s Forest Service announced the availability of $1 billion to increase equitable access to trees and green spaces in urban and community forests where more than 84% of Americans live\, work\, and play. This is an enormous opportunity for communities large and small\, and i-Tree is here to help. We will hold two free\, one-hour workshops during the first week of May for an in-depth look at what i-Tree tools can offer.
