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.

SUMMARY:ISA 2024 Annual International Conference
DESCRIPTION:The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) will celebrate 100 years of professionalism this year. Looking back over the years\, seeing how the organization grew is exciting. In 1924\, the first Shade Tree Conference was held in Stamford\, Connecticut\, and opened with about 36 participants from several different states. Today\, our most recent Annual International Conference had approximately 905 attendees from 23 other countries. In 1974\, the first official Tree Trimmer’s Jamboree was held and featured a 40-ft. foot lock and a work climb consisting of three workstations. Now\, the International Tree Climbing Championship features five different events and the best climbers around the globe. In 1992\, the ISA Certified Arborist® program launched\, which not only brought greater recognition for the profession but led to the creation of several other more specialized credentials and qualifications as well. \n\n\n\nISA has grown tremendously over the past 100 years\, and our impact on the profession and the community continues to grow in ways that the first Shade Tree Convention participants may not have imagined. We want to thank our members and credential holders who’ve taken this incredible journey with us as we celebrate our accomplishments. Your support has brought us to this milestone. \n\n\n\nIn August 2023\, ISA began its Road to Centennial Celebration\, a year-long series of events and initiatives. This includes\, among other things\, articles in Arborist News highlighting the organization’s history\, special webinars with industry leaders\, and a commemorative book. We encourage everyone to join us as we celebrate 100 years of professionalism and promote the professional practice of arboriculture. The road to Centennial culminates at the 2024 Annual International Conference\, 12 – 14 August\, in Atlanta\, Georgia\, where we will have a grand celebration and honor the contributions of our members and credential holders. We hope to see you there.

SUMMARY:i-Tree Open Academy - Spring 2024
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \n\n\n\nWhat: \n\n\n\nThe i-Tree Open Academy virtual learning series is back for spring of 2024\, with everything you need to explore the latest from the i-Tree suite of tools. Whether your work with trees involves planting\, managing\, funding\, educating\, or beyond – i-Tree can help you better understand the benefits that trees provide\, the impacts of where those benefits are\, and how to apply that science to your project goals. \n\n\n\nWho: \n\n\n\nThis seminar-style offering will serve as both a refresher and an introduction to the newest tools and features\, with one-hour virtual sessions over a six-week period. There is no fee for the Academy\, and you can join all live sessions\, or select those that meet your schedule and interests. Register by filling out the participant form. \n\n\n\nWe will be offering continuing education credits (CEUs) for both the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and the New Jersey state Urban and Community Forestry program. One CEU is available for each of the live sessions attended. \n\n\n\nHow: \n\n\n\nAll sessions will be streamed live via this Microsoft Teams link. They will also be recorded and posted below as well as on the i-Tree YouTube channel\, so that you can catch up on anything you missed. There are no requirements for this course\, and there will be self-directed exercises that you can use to gain experience using the tools. You are encouraged to submit any questions related to the course via info@itreetools.org\, and there will be opportunities to ask questions during certain live sessions and office hours. \n\n\n\nWhen: \n\n\n\nEach session is one hour long and offered Wednesdays at 1:00 pm (Eastern US time). Note: Office hours days and times may vary. \n\n\n\n·       March 20th – Introduction to i-Tree. Understand the basic science of i-Tree and the USFS research behind it. Explore the relationships between the i-Tree tools and the data they provide. Start to consider which i-Tree tools will be best for the application you have in mind. \n\n\n\n·       March 27th – Online with MyTree\, i-Tree Design\, and i-Tree Planting. Explore the easiest to use online i-Tree tools for individual trees. Get a better sense of their advantages and most common uses. \n\n\n\n·       April 3rd – The view from the top: i-Tree Canopy and OurTrees. You can’t manage your forest resource unless you know what you have. Get an estimate of tree canopy cover for any area or monitor change with a few hours of image analysis.
