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.

Biochar for Tree Growth and Water Quality: Exploring Potential in Urban and Disturbed Soils
Tuesday, December 17, 2024, Noon (CST) Dr. Rebecca Abney and Julia Campbell will be presenting their findings and research funded through Tree and Soil Research Fund Grant Program. CEUs will be available for this webinar. Biochar is a soil amendment that is broadly described to improve a number of soil deficiencies, however it is not universally recommended. We present results from a handful of studies investigating methods and rates of application of biochar in urban soils. We will discuss how our study trees responded to different biochar applications and how each of these combinations impacted water quality. We will also discuss best practices for using biochar and which soils would benefit the most. We will also discuss best management practices for using biochar to improve urban stormwater quality. |
