[CANUFNET] SFI Webinar on Urban-Forest Certification

[Naomi Zurcher]

Thanks Peter. 

I too have questions and concerns and would have been very happy to tune into the Webinar except your Webinar is at the very same time as a Tree Fund webinar Fighting Microbes with Microbes to Protect Our Native Trees. Were you aware of this previously scheduled event that many Urban Foresters and Arborists may already be registered for?

Kind regards
Naomi

Does this group have the knowledge base of the intricacies of the UF and its management? It is a completely different animal than a traditional natural or managed forest…

SFI has established a Task Group for this consideration. Kathryn Fernholz of Dovetail Partners and I are co-chairing the Task Group.
