UPCOMING WEBCASTS

Species Selection- Part II: Seasonal Landscaping
August 5, 2010, 1-2pm EDT
Trees in the landscape might be most famous for their fall foliage, but thoughtful planting can produce multiple seasons of interest. In addition to leaf color, other features like bark, limbs, fruit, flowers, scent, and overall form contribute to the visual appeal of trees.
Trainers:
Greg Paige, Arboretum Curator, Bartlett Tree Research Laboratory Arboretum (Charlotte, NC)
Edith Makra, Community Trees Advocate, The Morton Arboretum (Lisle, IL)

Species Selection- Part III: Right Tree, Right Place
August 19, 2010, 1-2pm EDT

Planting and caring for the right tree in the right place is critical to optimizing benefits, reducing threats from invasive plant species, and minimizing conflicts with other aspects of the urban infrastructure.
Trainers:
Greg Paige, Arboretum Curator, Bartlett Tree Research Laboratory Arboretum (Charlotte, NC)
Chip Brown, Forestry Manager, Allegheny Power (Jeannette, PA)
