   1. Research on open data and urban forestry
      (James Steenberg via CANUFNET)

Hi James,
We just hosted a webinar featuring two State agencies, New Mexico and
Wisconsin, that have invested in inventory software at the statewide level.
The webinar is located at http://www.planitgeo.com/webinars on August 30th.
If you are interested I can share the presenter's slides and contact if you
would like to interview them personally.
