SUMMARY:FREE Urban Forestry Webinar: Tree Preservation During Construction - A Prelude to the WAA Summer Conference
DESCRIPTION:Why should we preserve trees during development? In this brief webinar we will discuss the importance of tree preservation during the construction process. Some stakeholders may not see the benefits of preserving trees throughout construction. We will provide a better understanding of the importance of tree preservation so you can better inform others as to the benefits of protecting trees during development and adhering to industry standards and best management practices. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this FREE live webinar that is a prelude to the WAA Summer Conference which ties into JP McDonnell’s talk called “Tree Preservation During Construction: Where Can Arborists Have an Impact?” \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\nJP McDonnell assists with managing a growing\, nationwide team of Consulting Arborists. He has completed over 100 consulting assignments in ten states in the last two years. Prior to SavATree\, he was an Urban Forester at NYC Parks. JP is an ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist\, ISA Certified Arborist and is Tree Risk Assessment Qualified. He serves on ISA’s Appeals Committee and Certification Test Committee\, ASCA’s Membership Committee\, and is SavATree’s Alternate Representative of the ASC A300 Committee. JP has a Bachelor of Science in Forestry from Sewanee: The University of the South and a Master of Natural Resources from Virginia Tech. \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: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. 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:Aerial Rescue Training Workshop
DESCRIPTION:When a tree worker is injured or incapacitated aloft\, typically fellow crew members are the first to respond.  An emergency could develop at any time\, and tree care professionals must know how to react. \n\n\n\nTCIA’s Aerial Rescue Training Program helps protect your workers and meet the aerial rescue training requirements mandated by ANSI Z133.1 and OSHA. \n\n\n\nThis certificate program is designed to be used in combination with on-the-job training and practice\, so that crews have the knowledge and skills needed to evaluate an emergency situation and potentially rescue an injured tree worker. \n\n\n\n Registration starts at 8:00am.  Class to begin at 8:30am and be completed by 3:30pm. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Eric Freesmeyer\, Gary Kohler \n\n\n\nCapacity: 30 Beginners/15 Advanced \n\n\n\n\nALL students will receive a workbook and a take home quiz if you have not already become certified through TCIA.\n\n\n\nALL students will be required to bring and wear proper PPE (hardhat and safety glasses). \n\n\n\nALL students should also bring climbing gear to take part in a wide range of rescue scenarios (not mandatory to take class). \n\n\n\nAll gear will need to pass inspection prior to use.\n\n\n\nFor beginner students there will be additional focus on ‘low and slow’. The advanced students will have the opportunity to work through more complicated scenarios at height. \n\n\n\nLawn chairs and water bottles are recommended.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Deadline: April 28\, 2023\, 4:00pm \n\n\n\n6.5 ISA and TCIA CTSP CEUs available. \n\n\n\nOther Info: \n\n\n\n\nLunch will be provided.
