[CANUFNET] Canadian TREE Fund Webinar: Small Town Urban Forestry Challenges with Toso Bozic

[Alexander Martin]

Please join us on Tuesday, October 5th at 12 p.m. EDT for the Canadian TREE
Fund webinar featuring Toso Bozic for their presentation *Small Town Urban
Forestry Challenges: Why Should We Care? *There is 1 CEU available
following attendance of the live webinar. To register, please visit:

Description of the presentation: Urban centers have generally seen steady
support for trees and forest management: long term tree care, maintenance
and tree planting programs with well-defined policies and funding help
support their activities and practices. Urban centers also have dedicated
employees to carry on tree and forestry activities. In contrast, small
rural towns and summer villages have not developed robust tree care,
maintenance, or planting programs. In the small rural communities of
Alberta we often find unhealthy trees with low tree diversity. Many rural
communities do not see trees within their community as an ASSET nor do they
include potential benefits in economic and developmental planning. The
concept of “Green Infrastructure” is little known in these rural
communities and a lack of resources (financial and human) is a major
challenge.


The Canadian TREE Fund is pleased to continue our webinar series, focusing
on topics relevant to Canadian arborists and urban foresters! Join us on
the first Tuesday of every month for webinars at 12 p.m. EST (9 a.m. PST).
Topics range across the fields of consulting arboriculture, workplace
safety, tree climbing, urban forestry, and forest sciences. CEUs will be
available at the end of every webinar for ISA Certified Arborists. All
webinars are free, however, please consider donating
