The Mother Tree Project; The Importance of Resiliency in Forests Keynote Speaker: Dr. Suzanne Simard | 1 CEU | 1 CFE Online Store: https://pnwisa.org/store/viewproduct.aspx?id=18655128 (Available until 12/31/21)

Suzanne Simard is changing how people view trees and their connections to one another and to other living things in the forest. In this illuminating and accessible talk, Simard helps audiences understand just how vital trees are—to each other and to humans. Based on her incredible book and her research at The Mother Tree Project, Simard shares her moving and deeply personal journey of discovering the interconnectedness of trees, explaining how they behave in many ways with characteristics ascribed to human intel- ligence and civil societies. In understanding these complex ecosystems, Simard emphasizes the critical need to rethink our relationship with our natural world so we can begin to heal our climate Suzanne Simard is a Professor of Forest Ecology at The University of British Columbia and the leader of The Mother

Tree Project, which researches forest renewal practices that protect biodiversity against climate change. Dr. Simard’s work has been published widely, with over 170 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Ecology, and Global Biology. She is also co-author of the book Climate Change and Variability. Her latest book, Finding the Mother Tree, brings us into the intimate world of trees, exploring the ways in which trees learn and adapt their behaviors, remember the past, demonstrate agency over the future, and cooperate with a sophistication typically ascribed to humans. Dr. Simard’s research has been communicated broadly through TED Talks and TED Experiences, as well as articles and interviews in The New Yorker, National Geographic, The Globe and Mail, NPR, CNN, CBC, and many more. For more information on this Speaker please visit prhspeakers.com. To purchase a copy of Finding the Mother Tree, click on this link.

Arboricultural Zombies – Myths That Will Not Die Speaker: Dr. Linda Chalker-Scott | 1 CEU Online Store: https://pnwisa.org/store/viewproduct.aspx?id=18644859

Linda also is the award-winning author of five books: the horticultural myth-busting The Informed Gardener (2008) and The Informed Garden- er Blooms Again (2010) from the University of Washington Press and Sustainable Landscapes and Gardens: Good Science – Practical Appli- cation (2009) from GFG Publishing,Inc., and How Plants Work: The Sci- ence Behind the Amazing Things Plants Do from Timber Press (2015). Her latest book is an update of Art Kruckeberg’s Gardening with Native Plants of the Pacific Northwest from UW Press (2019), which has won

This webinar will present a diagnostic approach to discovering the cause behind land- scape failure. Many landscape plants fail to thrive or even die because of avoidable errors in selecting, transplanting, and maintaining trees and shrubs. Without understand- ing the underlying reason behind landscape failure, homeowners and professionals of- ten resort to pesticides and fertilizers in an unsuccessful attempt to fix the problem. An alternative set of suggested best practices will be presented based on recent and on-go- ing research, which ultimately will help landscape managers avoid the unnecessary use of chemicals. Tree Root Physiology & Urban Soils - Can’t We Just All Get Along? Trees planted in the built environment face challenges to successful establishment. Many of these challenges are caused by improper soil preparation and management practic- es that impair root growth and can be avoided. This presentation will focus on the three critical needs for root establishment – water, nutrients, and oxygen – and how soils can be properly managed to maximize success. Handouts and links to relevant references will be provided. Dr. Linda Chalker-Scott has a Ph.D. in Horticulture from Oregon State University and is an ISA certified arborist and an ASCA consulting arborist. She is WSU’s Extension Urban Horticulturist and a Professor in the Department of Horticulture, and holds two affiliate associate professor positions at University of Washington. She conducts research in applied plant and soil sciences, publishing the results in scientific articles and university Extension fact sheets. In 2020, she was named the new editor for the Western Arborist magazine. Speaker: Dr. Linda Chalker-Scott | 1 CEU | 1 CFE Online Store: https://pnwisa.org/store/viewproduct.aspx?id=18644943

several national awards since its publication. Forged in Fire: Arborist Options Before and After the Fire Speaker: Jim Flott | 1 CEU | 1 CFE Online Store: https://pnwisa.org/store/viewproduct.aspx?id=18645174

Succinctly defined the wildland-urban interface (WUI) is where the natural environment and the human community overlap. All segments of the arboriculture industry are spe- cifically qualified to help clients living in these environments. These clients may range from a modest, single residence to multi-million dollar acreage homes. Whether you are a single proprietor, a multi-faceted company, or a consulting arborist fire prevention and risk reduction in the WUI is a service you can offer. The Healthy Forest Restoration Act (2003) includes the first meaningful statutory incentives to give consideration to the priorities of local communities as they develop and implement forest management and hazardous fuel reduction projects. Attendees will gain insight into services they can offer before and after a fire. The topic expands on the business opportunities arboriculture provides for us while providing client services not typically expected of our industry. Jim Flott is president of Community Forestry Consultants, Inc.(CFC). CFC provides TreeWorks™ tree management software; inventories and appraisals; management plans; risk assessment and risk management plans; tree preservation plans; diagnosis; expert witness; forensic inves- tigations; urban forestry program reviews; training workshops; and urban forestry, arboriculture, and horticulture consulting services to individu- als, corporations, universities, municipalities, county and state agencies, cemeteries, and golf courses in the United States and Canada.

Forest Health Watch – Working Together to Monitor, Study & Understand Tree Health Issues in the Pacific Northwest Biosecurity is a shared responsibility. Our forests face critical threats from the global spread of tree pests and pathogens and the unprecedented rates of climate change. Of particular concern is the urgency for more information and greater capacity to monitor for new issues as we plant more trees for climate resiliency and move species for climate adaptation. Community science is one approach to address these pressing issues.The Forest Health Watch (https://foresthealth.org/) is a program to engage Pacific Northwest communities in tree health research and learning. Through multiple methods of engage- ment, community scientists are advancing knowledge and catalyzing efforts to discover solutions to pressing forest health issues in the region. The pilot project of the program was co-designed to investigate the dieback of western red cedar because it was iden- tified as a primary concern by many partners. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how community scientists have contributed to the pilot project to accelerate research and foster shared understanding about the dieback of western red cedar. Speaker: Dr. Joseph Michael Hulbert | 1 CEU | 1 CFE Online Store: https://pnwisa.org/store/viewproduct.aspx?id=18645405 Dr. Joey Hulbert is a USDA NIFA Postdoctoral Research Fellow based at the WSU Research and Extension Center in Puyallup, Washington. He has a background in forest health that started with a BS degree in natural resources at WSU. Then he spent 4 years at Oregon State Uni- versity working and learning about Sudden Oak Death before traveling to South Africa to complete a PhD. He is also the Director of the Forest Health Watch program where he draws on his experience leading the Cape Citizen Science program during his doctoral degree at the Uni- versity of Pretoria. Through this experience, his background in forest health, and his

passion for public engagement in science, Dr. Hulbert engages communities in research about the consequences of climate change on the health of forests. Integrating Density and Forests for Climate-Resilient Cities Speaker: Zhaohua (Cindy) Cheng | 1/2 CEU | 1/2 CFE Online Store: https://pnwisa.org/store/viewproduct.aspx?id=18645048 Densification, increased building or population density, has been recognized and prac - ticed by many cities as a way to mitigate and adapt to climate change and other urban challenges, such as housing affordability, walkability, and access to amenities. Many terms, such as compact cities, complete neighborhoods, and transit-oriented communi- ties, are used to describe favorable urban development patterns that encourage higher density. Densification is also preferred as it constrains urban expansion and thereby minimizes the negative impacts of urban sprawl on surrounding ecosystems. However, within urban areas, densification has become a threat to urban forests, which indicates a weak integration amongst climate action, urban forestry and urban planning policies. This webinar explores the synergies and trade-offs between climate action, urban forest- ry and urban planning through an analysis of policies and related documents in Vancou- ver, BritishColumbia, and semi-structured interviews with key informants (i.e. manage- ment-level city staff, practitioners, and researchers) from Vancouver and surrounding municipalities within the MetroVancouver region.

Zhaohua (Cindy) Cheng is a PhD candidate at the Urban Natures Lab at The University of British Columbia (UBC). She has over five years of experience in community and youth engagement, climate change ad- aptation, student advising and engagement, and project management. Her PhD research focuses on exploring urban forest-based solutions for climate resilience and urban livability. Besides her PhD, she is a re- searcher at the Collaborative for Advanced Landscape Planning (CALP) and the Coordinator of the Bachelor of Urban Forestry Program at UBC.
