Webinar - Managing Your Urban Forest from a Statewide View

Statewide tree inventories provide a unique scale for tracking and managing urban forests. By centralizing dozens of community tree inventories in one place urban forest managers can identify larger, regional trends and make more informed decisions, such as how species diversity looks at the metropolitan level, not just the municipality scale.

The presentation will look at how statewide inventories in Oregon and Wisconsin guide high level state management decisions and empower individual communities. Guests Scott Altenhoff, Oregon Department of Forestry and Dan Buckler, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, will outline how their statewide inventories were launched and the benefits and challenges of creating these massive datasets.
