TREE Fund Webinars

TREE Fund webinars bring you the latest in tree research, directly from the scientists themselves.

TREE Fund’s one-hour webinars are free and offer 1.0 CEU (only for live broadcast) from the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the Society of American Foresters (SAF), the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) and sometimes the Landscape Architecture Continuing Education System (LACES). See webinar descriptions for specifics. Space is limited and pre-registration is highly recommended; in doing so, you’ll receive a reminder email the day before the broadcast.

Many thanks to our webinar host Alabama Cooperative Extension System.

 

Future Webinars

Please join us for TREE Fund’s 2024 webinar series. Ongoing Webinars will be updated on this site. Registration for July 23 is available here

Computer Vision for Hazard Tree Identification and Assessment

Tuesday, July 23, 2024, Noon (CST)

Dr. Jose Delpiano will be presenting his findings and research from his TREE Fund grant with the Hyland Johns Research Grant Program. His presentation title, “Unlocking the Potential of Computer Vision for Urban Tree Screening”. Urban trees are essential for a healthy environment, providing shade, improving air quality, and supporting biodiversity. Traditionally, arborists manually assess tree health and risks, which is time-consuming. In this webinar, we explore how computer vision could assist arborists in these assessments using street-view images.

CEUs will be available for this free webinar.

Monitoring and modeling changes in street tree communities over time

Tuesday, October 8, 2024, Noon (CST)

Dr. Robert Fahey will be presenting his findings and research from his TREE Fund grant with the Hyland Johns Research Grant Program. CEUs will be available for this free webinar.

Registration will open about 3 weeks prior to the Webinar

Tree Caused Outages – What we know and what we have learned.

Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Noon (CST)

Dr. Greg Dahl, Associate Professor of Arboriculture at West Virginia University, and Cindy Musick, PhD Candidate at West Virginia University will be presenting their findings and research. CEUs will be available for this free webinar.

Over the past several years, Dr. Greg Dahle and PhD student Cindy Devlin Musick have worked with data acquired in Virginia to learn more about the leading cause of power outages – trees. They will share what they have learned by investigating outages and how that information has led to data-based maintenance decisions

Registration will be open approximately two weeks prior
