Managing Urban Forests in a Changing Climate 2014 Urban Tree Conference November 18-19, 2014 Thornhill Education Center, The Morton Arboretum, Lisle, IL (just west of Chicago)
In just one week! Please join The Morton Arboretum, the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, and the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science to learn how you can help your urban forest and your communities prepare for the effects of climate. This two-day conference will focus on practical concerns for those who manage trees in cities and suburbs, such as how the changes in climate are expected to affect treesÂ’ biology and growing conditions; shifts and increases in pests and diseases; managing for extreme storms and severe drought; and how trees can help communities adapt to conditions such as greater stormwater loads. Early bird pricing ends Friday, Nov 14! Registration and more information at: mortonarb.org/urbantreeconference
