SUMMARY:ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) - Full Course
DESCRIPTION:Hotel Information: https://www.travelwisconsin.com/southeast/ozaukee-county/mequon \nCourse Location: Mequon Nature Preserve \nHayman Classroom \n8200 W. County Line Rd. \nMequon\, WI 53097 \nFacility Info: https://mequonnaturepreserve.org/ \nSee Course Flyer for additional information. \nTo pay by check\, please use this form. \nCost: $650 ISA or WAA member/ $750 Non-member \nThis class is now full!!! \n \nABOUT THE COURSE \nThe ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) program provides an opportunity for professionals in the arboriculture industry to expand their knowledge through education and training in the fundamentals of tree risk assessment. This qualification promotes the safety of people and property by providing a standardized and systematic process for assessing tree risk. \nThe results of a tree risk assessment can provide tree owners and risk managers with the information to make informed decisions to enhance tree benefits\, health\, and longevity. The Tree Risk Assessment Qualification Course is a two-day educational course followed by a 1/2 day assessment that includes both a written and field component. The course prepares the participant to take the TRAQ assessment to become ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified. It is required that you attend the course and successfully complete the assessment in order to receive the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification. 14.5 CEUs. \nHosted by: The Wisconsin Arborist Association \nInstructor: Mr. Don RoppoloDon Roppolo is the Manager of Arboricultural Training for Davey Tree. He has been working in the tree care industry for over twenty-five years. During his career he has worked in the following capacities: taught arboriculture skills at universities and technical colleges\, municipal forestry\, arboricultural research\, and for the past sixteen years has worked in commercial arboriculture. He holds a bachelor of science in Agriculture with an emphasis in urban forestry from Western Illinois University\, and a master of science in Natural Resources with and emphasis in urban forestry from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. \nCOURSE CONTENT \nTree Biology and Mechanics: Participants will learn how to assess wood structure\, decay\, and tree mechanics\, and evaluate their impact on likelihood of tree or tree part failure. Participants will also learn how to identify and assess defects and conditions that may affect likelihood of failure. Tree Inspection and Assessment: Participants will learn about types of targets\, assess the likelihood of a tree or tree part impacting a target\, and estimate the consequences of tree or tree part failure. Participants will also learn how to assess site factors that may influence likelihood of failure. \nData Analysis and Risk Categorization: After learning the tree and target factors that must be assessed\, participants will combine likelihood of failure\, likelihood of impact\, and consequences of failure to derive a risk rating. This rating helps the assessor communicate tree risk to clients and risk managers\, and allows comparison of risk levels between trees. \nRisk Reporting: Participants will learn skills for clearly communicating tree risk to clients\, both in written and verbal reports. Participants will also learn about the key components that should be included in a report after completing a tree risk assessment. \nTREE RISK ASSESSMENT QUALIFICATION INFORMATIONThe Tree Risk Assessment Qualification is valid for five years from the date the TRAQ exam is passed. The qualification holder is required to take the course and pass the exam every fiveyears in order to maintain the qualification. \nCOURSE ELIGIBILITYTo be able to register for the course and take the exam\, you must have earned one of thefollowing credentials:· ISA Certified Arborist® or ISA Board Certified Master Arborist® · ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified· A degree in arboriculture\, urban forestry\, traditional forestry\, or horticulture that is partof a national qualifications framework or is from a college or university.· A national certification or certificate in arboriculture (see a complete list in the TRAQhandbook)· ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist (RCA) status· Licensing or Certification from an approved state/province program (see a completelist in the TRAQ handbook)· SAF Certified Forester \nTENTATIVE AGENDADay 1: Educational Session (8:00am – 5:00pm)Course OpeningModule 1: Introduction to Tree Risk AssessmentBreakModule 2: Levels of AssessmentModule 3: Target AssessmentLunchModule 4: Site AssessmentBreakModule 5: Tree Biology and MechanicsDay 2: Educational Session (8:00am – 5:00pm)Module 6: Tree Inspection and AssessmentBreakModule 7: Data Analysis and Risk Categorization (indoors)Module 7: Field Activity (outdoors)LunchModule 8: MitigationModule 9: ReportingBreakReview and Exam InformationDay 3: Exam (8:00am – 11:30am) Written examPerformance-based exam*Schedule subject to adjustment \nIncluded in your registration: –   course registration –   exam fee –   the TRAQ renewal manual (shipped via UPS to the address you provide (No PO Boxes) –   Risk Assessment Clipboard (shipped via UPS to the address you provide (No PO Boxes) –   lunch\, beverages and snacks for the day \nTravel and lodging is on your own. \nWhat is required to bring to the class: – your government issued photo ID – your TRAQ Manual (shipped via UPS to the address you provide) – your TRAQ Workbook (shipped via UPS to the address you provide) – your hard hat and high visibility vest or shirt (required) – #2 pencils and your clipboard for taking notes and completing worksheets – rain gear\, including a large ziplock bag (just in case!) – come prepared to spend part of the day outdoors – please dress for your comfort level indoors and outdoors;     we cannot always control the room temperature to suit everyone \nSpecial Testing Accommodations Requests:If you have an accommodation request\, please complete the Special Accommodations Request Form and submit it with your application.

SUMMARY:FREE Urban Forestry Webinar: Do You Know the Ascomycete Wood Decayers of Urban Trees? - A Prelude to the WAA/DNR Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Most arborists recognize that mushrooms\, brackets and conks of the basidiomycete fungi on urban trees indicate internal decay. However\, one of the most important wood decay fungi is also one of the most obscure. Kretzschmaria deusta is an ascomycete wood decay pathogen with a very wide host range and one that can break barrier and reaction zones and cause extensive decay in the lower trunk and buttress roots. This presentation will discuss ascomycete wood decay by focusing on Kretzschmaria deusta and other ascomycete wood decay fungi. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this FREE live webinar that is a prelude to the WAA/DNR Annual Conference which ties into Dr. Luley’s talk called “Biology\, Identification and Management of Wood Decay in Urban Trees.” \n\n\n\n0.5 CEUs available \n\n\n\nPre-registration is required. Click on ‘Register Online’ on the right side of the screen to register. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristopher J. Luley\, Ph.D. has BS and MS from SUNY ESF in Syracuse in Forest Pathology. His Ph.D. is from Iowa State University in plant pathology where he also managed the Plant Diagnostic Clinic. He was Forest Pathologist for the State of Missouri\, and has been a consultant since 1991. In 2017 he started Urban Forest Diagnostic. Dr. Luley has over 70 scientific\, technical and popular press articles and received the R. W. Harris Authors Award from the International Society of Arboriculture. He developed TreeRot.com and recently received the Brian Skinner Lifetime Achievement Award from the NYS Arborist\, ISA Chapter and author award from the Midwest Chapter of ISA.   \n\n\n\nSpecial Thanks!\n\n\n\nThank you to UW-Extension for coordinating this event with us.  We look forward to partnering on future events with you!

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Tree Appraisal and the Principle of Substitution
DESCRIPTION:One of the foundational concepts in tree appraisal is the Principal of Substitution. A thing cannot appraise for more than a substitute of equivalent utility. Possibly the hardest step in applying this principal is selecting a “functional equivalent” to the subject tree or trees. When selecting the best appraisal technique\, an appraiser must ask: “Is there a way the benefits provided by this tree could be replaced at a lower cost?” Depending on the facts of a case\, the answer could be very different. This presentation reviews 10 court cases that applied the Principle of Substitution to tree appraisal.Join us for the informative webinar! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker James Komen is a consulting arborist in California specializing in risk assessment and tree appraisal. He helps clients make informed management decisions for individual trees and for tree inventories. \n\n\n\nHis work has been published in Arboriculture & Urban Forestry\, Arboricultural Consultant\, Palms\, Ontario Arborist\, and Western Arborist. He is an ISA TRAQ instructor and has taught workshops on tree appraisal around the U.S. and Canada. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nYour personal Zoom link to access the webinar will be emailed by Monday\, June 17\, 2024.

SUMMARY:FREE Urban Forestry Webinar: Trees and Storm Loading Events in the Upper Midwest: Predicting Damage\, Preventing It When Possible\, & Recovering Damaged Trees & Landscapes - A Prelude to the WAA Summer Conference
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will be an amended version of the full presentation at the WAA Summer Workshop to be held at the University of Wisconsin River Falls campus on July 26. \n\n\n\nUrban tree damage due to weather events in the upper Midwest are usually the result of wind loading events\, as well as snow and ice loading. If damage from these events is inevitable\, why don’t all trees suffer the same fate? This session will rank the loading events from incidental to catastrophic and predict which trees are more likely to suffer the most\, what can be done to prevent the preventable damage to trees\, and what steps can be taken to recover damaged trees (when they are worth it) as well as planting more resilient landscapes as part of the prevention and recovery steps. Key words or phrases to consider include tree defects\, construction activities\, tree species profiling\, species selection\, and planting practices. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this FREE live webinar that is a prelude to the WAA Summer Conference which ties into Gary Johnson’s talk called  “Storm Damage to Trees: Predicting\, Preventing\, Recovering.” \n\n\n\n0.5 CEUs available \n\n\n\nPre-registration is required. Click on ‘Register Online’ on the right side of the screen to register. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGary Johnson is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Forest Resources\, University of Minnesota (UMN) Twin Cities campus. He has been a researcher and teacher with the department as well as the UMN Extension for 32 years\, focusing his efforts on minimizing construction damage to trees\, predicting and preventing storm damage to trees\, tree production and planting practices\, and urban tree health. \n\n\n\nSpecial Thanks!\n\n\n\nThank you to UW-Extension for coordinating this event with us.  We look forward to partnering on future events with you!

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Competing Legal Interests in Street Trees (prerecorded)
DESCRIPTION:Street trees are ubiquitous in urban areas. Municipalities often – but not always – assume control over the trees growing along public rights-of-way. But what degree of ownership and control do property owners and municipalities each have over the trees? This talk presents a sampling of several cases that illustrate some of the conflicts that arise between landowners\, municipalities\, and third parties with respect to three key property rights: the right to use\, the right to sell\, and the right to destroy.Join us for the informative webinar! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker James Komen is a consulting arborist in California specializing in risk assessment and tree appraisal.

SUMMARY:WAA 2nd Annual Youth T-Shirt Design Contest
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the second year of our Youth T-shirt contest!  We hope all our members will encourage a child between the ages of 8 and 14 years old to submit a drawing.   \n\n\n\nOur 2024 theme will be “Trees of the Future”.  \n\n\n\nHere are the rules: \n\n\n\n\n A child (or children) must simply be sponsored by a WAA member (there is no cost\, but you must be a current member).  The WAA member is responsible for submitting a scan of the drawing (Please keep the original!) to the Editorial Chair at briana@treehealthmgmt.com.\n\n\n\nAn E-Blast will be sent during the third week of July when the contest will be live and announced on our website.\n\n\n\nThe drawing must be in black and white and must be submitted by August 8th\, 2024 by 5:00pm.\n\n\n\nOnly one drawing per child will be accepted.\n\n\n\nA panel of judges will meet on August 14th to select three finalists.
