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

[Michael Rosen]

And let me add:

 

The Final Report of the National Forest Strategy (2003-8) has included an
analysis on Action Item 6: Urban Forests and Public Engagement. We did not
further very badly. The participants have stated their enthusiasm of having
urban forests as part of the Strategy, again. The Final Report will be
posted on the Tree Canada and Canadian Urban Forest Network
(www.cufn-rcfu.ca <http://www.cufn-rcfu.ca/> ) sites soon.

 

This year’s Canadian Urban Forest Conference will feature a discussion on
the Canadian Urban Forest Strategy, a regular feature of the conference. 

 

We are also compiling a database of urban forest community groups and
practitioners to be available as well. These will be made available later
this Spring through the web with a media release.

 

Judging by the amount of information requests, there is growing attention
being paid to urban forests as a crucial part of the environment.

  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.
