trees and forests as rich ecosystems, precious resources and elements of well-being since 1882 when a provincial day was first recognized.
</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:#425010">Since 2001, Quebec's
<i>ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs</i> has been devoting the entire month of May to promoting the province's trees and forests through an array of initiatives and partnerships with regional forestry associations, schools, cities as well as the
4H Clubs of Quebec. Consequently, activities such as tree distributions, ceremonial tree planting events, conferences and urban greening projects are in the works across all 17 of the province's administrative regions. At the heart of this year's festivities
is the role trees and forests play in the mitigation climate change on earth. For more information on Quebec's Month of Trees and Forests, you are welcome to visit MFFP's website

<i>la Société internationale d'arboriculture Québec </i>(SIAQ), celebrates 40 years of uniting and assisting professionals in arboriculture and urban forestry within Quebec. As part of this commemorative year, the SIAQ has organized a full year of professional
development with training opportunities and resources on landscape tree appraisal, tree architecture and tree risk assessment. The SIAQ, in collaboration with the Canadian Institute of Forestry, organized Canada's first series of urban forestry webinars in
French. This spring, three webinars focusing on tree inventories, biodiversity and invasive species were offered to a national audience free of charge. The series will return this fall with three additional e-lectures focusing on issues such as urban wood
salvaging, urban forest policy and operations. For more information on activities, training and educational opportunities available via the SIAQ please visit

de perfectionnement professionnel avec des possibilités de formation et des ressources sur l'évaluation des arbres d'ornement, l'architecture arboricole et l'évaluation des arbres posant des risques. La SIAQ, en collaboration avec l'Institut forestier du Canada,
a organisé la première série de webinaires canadiens sur la foresterie urbaine en français. Ce printemps, trois webinaires portant sur les inventaires forestiers, la biodiversité et les espèces envahissantes ont été offerts gratuitement à un auditoire national.
La série reviendra cet automne avec trois présentations en ligne portant sur des sujets comme la récupération du bois urbain, les politiques de foresterie urbaine et les activités de foresterie urbaine. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur les activités
