[PCA] WEBINAR: Drought and Urban Forests; Jul 25, 2017 2:00 pm ET

[De Angelis, Patricia]

DROUGHT AND URBAN FORESTS

Webinar date/time: Jul 25, 2017 2:00 pm ET

Duration: 1:30 hour

What will you learn?
Recent droughts have caused stress and mortality in urban forests, reducing
the cooling, clean air, and carbon storage provided by trees. Because human
populations are growing in most U.S. cities, it will become increasingly
important to maintain healthy, productive urban forests. Scientists and
urban foresters are working together to quantify recent drought-related
stress and find management strategies for sustainable urban landscapes.

Presenters:
• Cynthia West (Director, Office of Sustainability and Climate)
• Janette Davis (U.S. Forest Service, Cooperative Forestry)
• Rich Hallett (U.S. Forest Service, Northern Research Station)
• Paul Johnson and Mickey Merritt (Texas A&M Forest Service)
• Greg McPherson (U.S. Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station)

No pre-registration required.

*** Please join the session 15 minutes prior to the start of the webinar.
