Branching Out Together!
For the first time, Connecticut’s three leading organizations in arboriculture and urban forestry
will be co-hosting a two-day conference at Connecticut College in New London.
Join the Connecticut Tree Protective Association, the Tree Wardens’ Association of Connecticut, and the Connecticut Urban Forest Council on March 19 and March 20 as we celebrate these partnerships and the ways that trees bring us together. Presentations will be relevant to urban foresters, arborists, tree wardens, community volunteers and activists, landscape architects, nursery professionals, students, city planners, and engineers. The event will feature tours of the extensive arboretum and winter tree identification, tree planting practices with hands-on demonstration, and tree risk assessment. Day 1 will feature talks on high performance urban canopy projects and preparing for oak wilt, then close with a social hour showcasing the DEEP PhotoVoice Project. Topics also covered over the two days include Trees and Tech, Urban Forests and Resilience, Community Engagement, and a field tour of urban forestry projects in New London. The concluding presentation on the Miyawaki Forest Method is sure to be thought provoking.
