<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; color: #425010;">The Collective's first urban forest workshop was held in Moncton, NB, in November 2014 focusing on the planning for climate,
insect and disease in urban forests. Over 125 people attended from various Atlantic Provinces - the guest speaker from the City of Mississauga highlighted the efforts taken by the municipality to combat emerald ash borer, the cost of the program and how this
pest changed the landscape of their community. The statement "this pest is just a day's drive away from your municipality" sent home a message to the group to go back home and look at management plans and know where your ash trees are located and monitor the
health of these species over time. The feeling of the participants attending was that it is not a question of
<i>whether</i> this pest reaches the community - rather, it is <i>when</i> - and to be prepared is critical to the success of the program. This workshop was the beginning of continued information exchange, new partnerships, and sharing of local conferences
and meetings relating to climate change, managing forests and forest health across the Maritimes.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; color: #425010;"></span></p>

des insectes et des maladies dans notre forêt urbaine. Plus de 125 personnes provenant de diverses provinces de l'Atlantique ont assisté à l'atelier et le conférencier invité de la ville de Mississauga a décrit les efforts déployés par cette municipalité pour
lutter contre l'agrile du frêne, les coûts du programme et comment ce ravageur a modifié le paysage de la collectivité. L'énoncé « l'agrile du frêne est seulement à une journée de route de votre municipalité » a bien fait passer le message aux membres du groupe
d'examiner soigneusement leurs plans de gestion, de confirmer où se trouvent leurs frênes et de surveiller la santé de ces arbres. Les participants de l'atelier ont été convaincus qu'il ne s'agissait pas de décider si ce ravageur pourrait affecter leur collectivité
mais plutôt quand cela se produirait, et qu'il fallait se préparer d'avance pour assurer le succès du programme de lutte contre l'agrile du frêne. Cet atelier a commencé un processus d'échange d'information, entraîné la formation de nouveaux partenariats et
causé une diffusion des renseignements provenant de conférences et de rencontres sur le changement climatique, la gestion forestière et la santé des forêts à l'échelle des Maritimes.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; color: #425010;"></span></p>

a eu lieu à Halifax (N.-É.) et à laquelle ont assisté plus de 65 participants provenant d'un peu partout dans l'Atlantique. Ce fut une autre excellente occasion pour les participants de se rencontrer et de réseauter.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; color: #425010;"></span></p>

journée permettrait de diffuser de l'information sur les nouvelles recherches et activités de foresterie urbaine qui se sont déroulées pendant l'année et la deuxième journée aurait lieu à l'extérieur pour se renseigner davantage sur les programmes de gestion
de la forêt urbaine dans diverses municipalités. L'atelier serait organisé dans une province différente tous les deux ans, au cours de l'année où il n'y a pas de

qu'un avis a été envoyé aux membres pour les encourager à participer davantage à la planification de cet événement et que cet avis a obtenu beaucoup de succès. La prochaine année devrait apporter plusieurs réalisations intéressantes!
