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:Free Urban Forest Connections Webinar: Urban Trees and Stormwater Management: Quantifying Impacts\, Maximizing Benefits
DESCRIPTION:Stormwater managers and urban foresters share a growing recognition that urban trees play an important role in controlling urban stormwater runoff.  In this webinar\, Dr. Trisha Moore (Kansas State University)and Eric Kuehler (Nashville Metro Water Services) aim to address some very practical questions related to the role of trees in stormwater management\, including: How can we quantity potential runoff reductions by trees in urban environments? What effect do trees have on runoff quality? How can urban forests be managed to maximize stormwater benefits? Trisha will share tools for quantifying the runoff quantity and quality of urban trees developed in collaboration with the Water Research Foundation. Then\, Eric will discuss some useful rules of thumb for urban trees and stormwater mitigation found in the Forest Service publication “Urban Forest Systems and Green Stormwater Infrastructure.“ He will demonstrate how these measures are being used by Nashville Metro Water Services to help quantify stormwater benefits.

SUMMARY:Urban Forest Connections Webinar: Taking Flight - Urban Forest Stewardship for Bird Conservation using i-Tree Eco Software
DESCRIPTION:Each May\, World Migratory Bird Day brings attention to one of the most important and spectacular events in the Americas – bird migration – and reminds us that many birds aren’t connected to a single place\, but survive and even thrive in diverse habitats during often long and arduous passage across a broad swath of landscapes and ecosystems in an increasingly urbanized planet. Dr. Wayne Arendt and Jerry Bauer\, both with the USDA Forest Service’sInternational Institute of Tropical Forestry based in San Juan\, Puerto Rico\, will share how the combination of decades of bird data linked to natural and innate variables generated by US Forest Service i-Tree and i-Tree Eco software can provide new insights into the many ways highly disparate and dispersed urban green areas\, including urban forests with their complex structure\, composition and diverse mixture of native and introduced species\, can influence urban bird biodiversity and promote natural and anthropogenic ecosystem services provided to Santo Domingo\, and the city’s reciprocity promoting sustainable and functional benefits to trees\, birds and all incumbent life forms. Robert Northrop\, an extension forester with the University of Florida\, will discuss what this means for urban forest stewardship\, and how local decisions can have a synergistic impact on urban terrestrial and marine resident and migratory birds\, ecosystem services and human well-being across a migratory landscape. \n\n\n\n1 ISA CEU available

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 Urban Forest Connections Webinar - Redlining’s Intensifying Harm: Rising Temperatures\, Hotter Neighborhoods\, and How Trees Can Help
DESCRIPTION:Vivek Shandas\, Portland State UniversityCate Mingoya\, Groundwork\, USA \n\n\n\nMany are well aware of the inequitable distribution of trees in our urban areas.  Black\, indigenous\, and people of color (BIPOC) communities often face the greatest burden of heat\, air pollution\, and flooding – all of which urban greening can help to mitigate. These inequitable patterns and the related persistent disparities in human health are an enduring legacy of various forms of housing segregation\, which were officially legal through the late 1960s.  In this presentation\, Dr. Vivek Shandas will provide a summary of one pernicious and federally sponsored urban planning policy officially begun in the 1930s — redlining — and the current day implications on the distribution of tree canopy\, extreme urban heat\, and the quality of life for those historically underserved communities. Cate Mingoya will discuss the Climate Safe Neighborhoods Partnership and how residents are working to intervene in municipal planning systems to ensure a more equitable distribution of climate mitigation resources.  \n\n\n\n1 CEU available with live broadcast.
