Webinar to discuss Pennsylvania trees
Share with others:
A "webinar" to discuss community trees in Pennsylvania will be held from noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday at https://meeting.psu.edu/pacommunityforestry.
Christine Ticehurst, TreeVitalize program administrator, will lead the discussion on increasing tree canopy cover in cities and communities.
In recent years, studies have shown that built communities across Pennsylvania have lost tree canopy cover. This translates into reductions in air and water quality, energy conservation, economic vitality and quality of life. Learn how the TreeVitalize program works to reverse those losses and helps revitalize communities across the state by planting 1 million trees. Find out more about the grants program that provides financial assistance to municipalities and the Tree Tender program that has trained thousands of volunteers to plant and care for their community trees.
Participants, who should sign on as guests, will need speakers or a headset to hear the webinar audio but will not need a microphone. Organizers recommend joining the meeting early so that they can troubleshoot audio or video technical difficulties. A host will be available at the meeting site at 11 a.m. that morning to assist.
This webinar was developed through a partnership of Penn State Extension, DCNR Bureau of Forestry and Pennsylvania Community Forests.
