Webinar Tree Care for Birds and ... @ Home or Office

Aug 20 @ 8:00 am – 9:30 am

Conference Description: (4.5 CEUs) Tree Care for Birds is hosting an online workshop on the Wildlife Best Management Practices. Arborists have a unique connection with nature and wildlife in the urban forest. This workshop will focus on the best practices to act responsibly around wildlife and to navigate wildlife laws in Arizona, California, Nevada and Hawaii. The workshop will cover topics like: laws regulating wildlife, when and where are you most likely to encounter nesting birds, practices to minimize impacts to nesting birds during tree care, and managing wildlife habitat through urban forestry. We are offering this workshop across three weeks, and we will have different sessions for the different states. Participants should plan to attend a webinar each week, take a quiz after each session and complete at least one homework assignment. If you don’t work in a western state, you are welcome to join us anyways. Some of the information will be broadly applicable to different areas.

When we plant containerized or B&B trees and shrubs, the goal is to get roots established into the native soil. Therefore, we need to remove all the barriers that interfere with establishment: the baskets, burlap, twine, and media. While root washing and corrective pruning is controversial to some in the industry, ongoing research demonstrates that this new procedure leads to substantial increases in tree establishment and survival. Not only do roots establish faster, but flawed root systems can be corrected and the tree will be planted at grade.
