Details at the link below.

/Climate change introduces a new challenge for municipalities as it has 
the potential to affect areas of forest cover in ways we may not yet 
completely understand. The recent lack of cold winters, attributed to 
climate change, has allowed for the mountain pine beetle to wipe out 
enormous areas of forest land in Canada and the United States. Prolonged 
drought in California lead to thousands of acres of dead and dying trees 
in urban and rural areas. Dead and dying trees lead to increased chance 
of forest fires./

/Those who will benefit from attending this symposium include arborists 
in the municipal and private sectors, other professionals who work with 
trees and forests, as well as anyone interested in how climate change is 
impacting trees. Presenters will propose best practices for future tree 
selection, maintenance and management in light of climate changes./

/The goal for the symposium is to lay out a foundation of ideas and 
experiences, and use those to develop long term action plans to combat 
the effects of climate change. Along the way we hope to see if we can 
sort out fact from fiction. By the end of the day we will have a 
starting point for further debate, some sense of the science available, 
and initial paths to work on. Our hope is that we can use this material 
to start focusing on what we have, what we might lose, and how we can 
work in urban areas to increase the resiliency of our urban forests to 
enhance their chances of long-term survival./

I will be chairing the event and giving the opening lecture. We look 
forward to seeing you there.
