SUMMARY:EAB University Webinar: Firewood Movement Regulation\, Outreach\, and Impact
DESCRIPTION:Firewood movement regulations\, recommendations\, outreach\, and forest pests’ distribution change through time. The Don’t Move Firewood campaign is a leader in this space\, not only for excellence in communicating behavior change messages to the public\, but also as a professional resource to track and communicate regulatory frameworks and pest range shift information. This presentation will cover the basics of current firewood regulations in the USA\, what resources Don’t Move Firewood has for both the layperson and for forest and firewood professionals\, and- when it all comes together- how we can slow the spread of damaging forest pests and pathogens across the country. \n\n\n\nLeigh Greenwood\, Forest Pest and Pathogen Program Director\, TNC \n\n\n\nCEU available to attendees.

SUMMARY:Free Urban Forest Connections Webinar: Decision Tools for Local Governments: Responding to Ecosystems in Distress
DESCRIPTION:California and the Pacific Islands have long been on the frontier of extreme climate events and natural resource management in cities and communities. Urban forests have been a focus for federal research and state forestry assistance in California since the early 1980s\, leveraging public resources to support healthy trees and forest cover. In this webinar\, we will explore current research in the region and highlight a model\, long-term partnership with California Polytechic State University (Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo) Urban Forest Ecosystems Institute. With fresh funding from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)\, we will learn about new directions and how local governments are using the tools. And we will have dialogue with our community of practice to catalyze replication of the partnership in other states\, and application of the tools at a national scale. \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n\nNatalie van Doorn\, USDA Forest Service \n\n\n\nMatt Ritter\, Cal-Poly-San Luis Obispo \n\n\n\nIan Kesterson\, City of Berkeley\n\n\n\n\nCEU available to attendees.

SUMMARY:TREE Fund Webinars
DESCRIPTION:Predictors of street tree survival in Philadelphia: Tree traits\, biophysical environment\, and socioeconomic context \n\n\n\nTuesday\, October 8\, 2024\, Noon (CST) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Robert Fahey will be presenting his findings and research from his TREE Fund grant with the Hyland Johns Research Grant Program. CEUs will be available for this free webinar. \n\n\n\nWe focus on how street tree survival in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania (US) has been influenced by 1) tree traits and attributes\, 2) the local biophysical environment\, and 3) socioeconomic context. The work used a longitudinal monitoring approach with a 6-year time interval and 103 randomly-located\, fixed-length permanent plots\, containing a range of tree size classes\, to assess street tree survival rates\, predictors of survival\, and the balance of tree losses and gains. We present findings on tree mortality and its drivers and discuss the implications of the work for management and monitoring in urban street tree systems. \n\n\n\nRegistration is now open

The Cemetery has partnerships with Teens Grow Greens and Sixteenth Street’s environmental apprentices. They are going to try and incorporate an opportunity for youth to learn from this experience.Please contact Adam Alves at alves.adam@countyofdane.com with any questions or to volunteer.  If you plan on attending\, please let him know how many people are attending and what kind of equipment you can volunteer for the day by September 15th so we can plan accordingly.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Appraising Tree Losses for Insurance Adjusters
DESCRIPTION:When disaster strikes\, consulting arborists are called upon by insurance adjusters to assess and value the damage done to trees. This presentation shows case studies of collaboration between consulting arborists and insurance professionals\, focusing on claims from the Napa and Ventura fires\, the Santa Barbara mudslides\, and the Phoenix monsoonal windstorms.See what key data an adjuster needs from an arborist to process a claim.

Growing up on a farm in central Iowa\, Jay spent a majority of his time outdoors.

SUMMARY:ISA 2024 Annual International Conference
DESCRIPTION:The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) will celebrate 100 years of professionalism this year. Looking back over the years\, seeing how the organization grew is exciting. In 1924\, the first Shade Tree Conference was held in Stamford\, Connecticut\, and opened with about 36 participants from several different states. Today\, our most recent Annual International Conference had approximately 905 attendees from 23 other countries. In 1974\, the first official Tree Trimmer’s Jamboree was held and featured a 40-ft. foot lock and a work climb consisting of three workstations. Now\, the International Tree Climbing Championship features five different events and the best climbers around the globe. In 1992\, the ISA Certified Arborist® program launched\, which not only brought greater recognition for the profession but led to the creation of several other more specialized credentials and qualifications as well. \n\n\n\nISA has grown tremendously over the past 100 years\, and our impact on the profession and the community continues to grow in ways that the first Shade Tree Convention participants may not have imagined. We want to thank our members and credential holders who’ve taken this incredible journey with us as we celebrate our accomplishments. Your support has brought us to this milestone. \n\n\n\nIn August 2023\, ISA began its Road to Centennial Celebration\, a year-long series of events and initiatives. This includes\, among other things\, articles in Arborist News highlighting the organization’s history\, special webinars with industry leaders\, and a commemorative book. We encourage everyone to join us as we celebrate 100 years of professionalism and promote the professional practice of arboriculture. The road to Centennial culminates at the 2024 Annual International Conference\, 12 – 14 August\, in Atlanta\, Georgia\, where we will have a grand celebration and honor the contributions of our members and credential holders. We hope to see you there.
