[Bloniarz David via CANUFNET]

Hello, List-serve Partners: Please take a look at the following information on an upcoming i-Tree Online Workshop. Please join us if you can. 

Thanks. Dave Bloniarz, US Forest Service

*****************************************************************************
Please join us for the March 2018 i-Tree Workshop: Using Your i-Tree Benefits To Implement Change. 

This session will take a look at some of the ways that organizations and municipalities are working with i-Tree to incorporate ecosystem services into their project and sustainability planning. Environmental, public health, and city planners can easily incorporate tree benefit assessments into their advocacy and policy endeavors both large and small, using the results of canopy analysis from programs within the i-Tree tool set.
i-Tree allows any community to conduct and analyze sample, or complete street tree inventory, data, and make estimates of the structure, function, and value of these components of your urban forest. Baseline data can be used to effectively manage the resource, develop policy and set priorities. Looking at information collected on existing street trees, this software allows managers to evaluate current benefits, costs, and management needs. We hope that this will be a very informative session, and provide important feedback to the i-Tree team, and allow your ideas to be brought into future planning efforts. Please plan to join us if you are able.

PRE-REGISTRATION is required for this session in order to provide the most streamlined user experience. To register, please visit https://goo.gl/9LvNjw <https://goo.gl/9LvNjw>
