SUMMARY:Identifying Barriers to Equitable Tree Planting and Quantifying Potential Benefits to Overcoming Them
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will offer strategies to work with diverse audiences to increase tree equity in the Chicago region. It will present the results from two recent surveys: the first was answered by 1\,200 residents and captured their perceptions about trees and barriers that they’ve experienced in planting them\, and the second went to regional greening organizations and municipal foresters and identified strategies that the groups are using to successfully work with residents. Attendees will learn more about the motivations that residents have to plant or not plant trees\, and about how collaboration across organizations may better serve residents of the Chicago region. \n\n\n\nRegister here. The webinar is free. This research was made possible by a grant through the TREE Fund.

SUMMARY:FREE Urban Forestry Webinar: Approaches to Dealing With Circling Roots on Container-Grown Trees - A Prelude to the WAA Fall Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Container-grown trees are increasingly popular in a range of urban forestry and landscape applications. However\, arborists and landscapers are often concerned about defects associated with container growing. Dr. Bert Cregg and members of his lab have researched various approaches to dealing with root systems of container-grown trees over the past decade. In this webinar\, Dr. Cregg will highlight key findings from his group’s research and discuss practical implications for tree planters. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this FREE live webinar that is a prelude to the WAA Fall Seminar which ties into Dr. Cregg’s talk called “Quit Going in Circles: Managing Roots of Container-Grown 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\nDr. Bert Cregg is a Professor in the Departments of Horticulture and Forestry at Michigan State University. He conducts research and extension programming on the physiology and management of trees\, with a focus on nursery and Christmas tree production and urban forestry. Dr. Cregg has a Ph.D. in Forest Resources from the University of Georgia and was a research plant physiologist for the USDA Forest Service and International Paper before joining the faculty at MSU. \n\n\n\nSpecial Thanks!\n\n\n\nThank you to UW-Extension for coordinating this event with us.
