Tree
Ordinances and Design Standards
February 4, 2010, 1-2pm EST
As urban areas expand, communities want to preserve open lands and
environmentally sensitive areas and mitigate environmental problems
related to development. Often a tree ordinance is a key aspect of the
framework for managing community forests and, in
general, public
resources.
Trainers:
Craig Richardson, Vice President & Principal, Clarion Associates
Chad Meadows, Vice President, Sr. Associate, Clarion Associates
State
Advocacy for Trees
February 18, 2010, 1-2pm EST
While
news headlines about "special interests" may depict a negative view of
lobbying, organized advocacy shapes the way public resources
are
directed. Protecting and promoting urban forests is an issue of
authentic public concern that deserves to be well represented.
Trainers:
Sarah Griffith, State Urban Forestry Coordinator, WA DNR
Gary Allen, Chair, Partnership for Sustainable Forestry
