SUMMARY:CHAINSAW SAFETY CLASS - LEVEL 3
DESCRIPTION:Prerequisite: Completion of Level 2 training \n\n\n\nParticipants in Level 3 SAWW training will refine and build upon chainsaw proficiency skills learned in Levels 1 & 2. This course is certified through the Safety and Woods Working (SAWW) training program and is part of a four-level series designed to increase safety and efficiency of chainsaw use. \n\n\n\nParticipants in Level 3 training will spend most of the day in the field practicing techniques to operate chainsaws safely\, comfortably and productively. Topics covered include review of information from Levels 1 & 2\, focus on planning and executing difficult tree felling\, introduction to Segments\, precision at the stump\, and planning and executing limbing and bucking. Level 3 participants should be fully equipped and prepared to work with and maintain their own chainsaw. Hands-on training gives participants the opportunity to fell and limb or buck at least one tree. Participants must be prepared to work and bring their own personal protective equipment\, chainsaw(s) and tools for maintenance.

SUMMARY:TREE Fund Webinar: Examining the Connection Between Woody Plant Biodiversity and Arthropod Pest Management Interventions in Residential Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:The woody plant communities found on residential properties constitute an integral component of cities’ green infrastructure and serve as a nexus between urban residents and the natural world. Despite this importance\, residential landscapes are infrequently designed with principles of sustainability in mind\, resulting in the extensive use of pesticides to suppress a diverse array of plant pests. In this presentation\, we will discuss recently published research that asks whether ecological theory can inform the sustainable design and management of woody plant communities on urban residential properties. \n\n\n\nSpeaker – Dr. Chris Riley\, PhD \n\n\n\nISA CEU credit – 1.0

SUMMARY:Breeding for EAB-Resistance: What Does the Future Look like for Ash?
DESCRIPTION:EAB threatens the survival of ash trees in the U.S. where it is a common hardwood species especially in riparian and wetland forests. Ash was also used extensively for soil conservation (including wind breaks) and in urban green spaces and streets. Surviving\, or “lingering”\, ash trees that had maintained healthy canopies for at least two years after all other large ash trees had died were identified in natural forests long-infested by EAB. EAB egg bioassay experiments confirmed that these trees have an increased level of resistance due to defense responses\, including death of early instar larvae\, larvae with significantly lower weights\, or leaves less preferred for feeding by EAB adults. This webinar discusses research now being done to further understand this phenomenon and other findings to develop tree-improvement programs that could be successful in producing EAB resistant seed. Longer term goals include combining the best performing progeny from many families into a second generation seed orchard\, so that the seed produced may be used for restoration plantings.
