Presenters: Andy Pleninger, NCFS, Urban & Community Forestry Program Coordinator
Aaron Reese, Forestry Management Supervisor, City of Wilmington
We are excited to be working with the NC Forest Service's Urban & Community Forestry Program (U&CF) to introduce their new program effort on trees and storms. NC is no stranger to hurricanes and other storm events that impact our lives and damage our trees. This webinar will provide NC communities and arborists with an overview of the 3Rs urban forest storm plan development process; readiness, response, and recovery. It is important for your community to have a plan in place to ensure your community is ready, your response is safe and effective and your recovery will conserve your urban forest resource moving forward. Andy will discuss this planning process that integrates into existing emergency response plans and will ensure you are prepared to manage future storm events, big and small. Aaron will present his insights and experience with how Wilmington's trees have been impacted by past hurricanes and how the city manages the post-storm tree damage.
A webinar link will be emailed to all registrants at least one day in advance.
