The Florida Urban Forest Council is presenting a workshop on tree risk assessment in urban forestry in Tampa on October 23rd. The workshop will provide practical advice and demonstrate the latest techniques in risk assessment and there application to government wide decision making. The brochure is attached. Please see the description below.
The close proximity of people and trees in our cities and communities requires the diligent and consistent assessment of tree risk. This is especially true in Florida where we encounter very strong storms with high winds and ground saturating rainfall.
This workshop will identify the role of tree risk assessment in urban forestry, provide examples of how tree risk assessment can be incorporated into an active urban forest management program and demonstrate techniques and technologies that allow individual tree risk assessment data to be incorporated into broader inter-department decision making that supports the long-term conservation and restoration of the urban forest and its social, economic and ecological values.
