DESCRIPTION:The Municipal Forestry Institute is an inclusive\, immersive\, and transformative educational experience that empowers urban forestry leaders to gain valuable and practical insights from prominent figures\, experts\, and peers in the field of urban forestry. Read below to find out if MFI is right for you. \n\n\n\nThe MFI curriculum focuses on the human side of urban forestry and the development of leadership skills rather than the technical aspects of urban forestry or arboriculture.

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.

SUMMARY:Restoring Your Woodland Class 1: Know Your Enemy- Invasive Plant ID & Property Assessment
DESCRIPTION:The first step in taking back your woodland is knowing what you’re up against. This foundational class will train you to identify the “top tier” invasive threats in our counties woodlands—from woody invasive species (buckthorn\, honeysuckle\, barberry\, autumn olive) to herbaceous (garlic mustard\, dame’s rocket\, celindine\, burdock). Using live samples\, we’ll show you the key features to look for in all seasons. We’ll also discuss why these plants win and how to think like an ecologist. The session culminates in learning a strategic “triage” approach to map your own property. You’ll leave with the confidence to identify your problem plants and a clear map of where to start for the biggest impact. \n\n\n\nISA CEUs Available \n\n\n\nAges 18+Member: $40 | Non-member: $50Pre-registration required by January 19 at 11:59 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here
