SUMMARY:Free Urban Forest Connections Webinar: New Guidance for Tracking Long-term Tree Survival\, Growth and Health
DESCRIPTION:Lara Roman\, USDA Forest ServiceNatalie van Doorn\, USDA Forest ServiceDana Dentice\, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society \n\n\n\nField monitoring of urban trees is essential to learn how urban forests change over time. Many arborists and urban forest managers worldwide seek to understand how their tree systems are faring in terms of growth\, health\, and mortality. The Urban Tree Growth & Longevity Working Group of the International Society of Arboriculture has developed standard protocols and effective strategies for long-term data collection. This new guidance\, which includes a Field Guide\, Resource Guide\, and companion training videos\, gives detailed instructions for how to record a small set of variables consistently over time that will support adaptive management. The intended users are any urban forestry professionals who intend to carry out field-based tree monitoring\, whether with arborists\, interns\, or citizen scientists. Dr. Lara Roman will lay out the key practices and components of the Field Guide.  Dr. Natalie van Doorn will go deeper into specific tips for successful implementation. And Dana Dentice will illustrate how these protocols have been put to work in training volunteers in Philadelphia to successfully monitor young tree health and survival. \n\n\n\n1 CEU with live broadcast.

SUMMARY:Free Webinar: Woodland Owner Lunch and Learn - Seedling Genetics and Soil Fertility - Know What you are Planting and How to Care for It
DESCRIPTION:During each rotation of a planted forest\, landowners have a single opportunity to choose the appropriate genetics for their long-term investment. We encourage forest landowners to plant the best genetic quality seedlings possible. The benefits from establishing highly productive families\, in combination with good silvicultural practices\, will result in large financial returns. Nurseries grow loblolly pine seedlings that have a range in genetic quality. Information about the value of different seedling families can be sourced from seedling vendors as well as from tree improvement cooperatives. The cooperative provides a “third-party” assessment of the productivity\, disease resistance\, and stem quality of the many families that are available for purchase. An example of this is the loblolly pine Performance Rating System (PRS) developed by the NC State University Cooperative Tree Improvement Program. Information provided through this rating system helps seedling customers make informed decisions when comparing the genetic potential of one family relative to another. Once decisions on seedling genetics are made\, at-planting silvicultural decisions will determine the trajectory of the stand and if landowners will capture the potential of selected genetics. Appropriate chemical and/or mechanical site preparation\, fertilization\, timing\, and spacing & density all play critical roles in ensuring the success of a new plantation.

SUMMARY:Free UAA Webinar: ROW Reclamation: Right-of-Way Done Right
DESCRIPTION:Cutting the trees and eliminating brush is the easy part! \n\n\n\nGaining consistency and support from internal and external stakeholders is the hard part. This is the ‘secret ingredient’ our presentation will focus on. \n\n\n\nWe also will share how reclamation can galvanize the whole utility\, shore up interdepartmental collaboration and trust\, the veg team and contractors\, and individual job satisfaction. \n\n\n\nIn the end\, this all ripples back out into the industry where we need competent people joining our workforce and staying as a profession. \n\n\n\n1 CEU with live broadcast.
