[CANUFNET] Tangible Capital Asset Registry - Reporting Trees and Urban Forest Assets

[Philip van Wassenaer]

Thanks Randy,
 
Several years ago Andy Kenney, Mike Rosen and myself organized a "summit" in
Winnipeg. It was very gratifying to be with other professional and there was
lots of good ideas...we have plenty of them. What is lacking is any
instrument for implementation. So if Jim and ISA want to do this in Canada I
suggest that we talk about this and try to put it in the context of what has
already been done and what is really needed rather than start at ground zero
again with general discussions that have probably already been done....
 
 
My 2 cents,
 
 
Thanks for giving this information to the group.

  Good morning Philip:


"We do indeed need collaborative advocacy among Urban Foresters in
Canada...every time we try to get that going it starts and then fades away
again...this really should be a prime initiative for Tree Canada and topic
at the CUFC. Is there any of this type of discussion planned at this years
CUFC ie Canada specific discussion towards solutions to Canadian problems." 


 As a matter of fact, ISA's Exec. Dir. - Jim Skiera -  is budgeting some
$$'s to help fund an ISA Cdn roundtable of Urban Forestry Across Canada,
specifically to discuss / brain storm key issues country-wide. We anticipate
a group of about 15 - 18 folks, hoping to collaborate in findings. It wont
be a long session, but at least a start. We haven't put all the details
together yet, but will shortly be seeking -out potential topics & Cdn ISA
members who can attend.
