The Hixon Center is pleased to announce its Spring 2025 Speaker Series on "Data-Driven Urban Forestry." Webinars will take place on Tuesdays from January 21 to April 8, from 10:30-11:30am U.S. ET. The intensifying threats of climate change, including flooding and extreme heat, are especially evident in cities - home to the majority of the globe's population.  To address these challenges, there is growing investment in urban forests and tree planting as “nature-based solutions” to build resilience and reduce environmental inequities.  Throughout this seminar series, urban forestry experts will share their use of data to effectively resolve management problems and measure the efficacy of different solutions.  Bringing a range of experience across government, research, and nonprofit leadership, lecturers will present insights to guide decision-making for more equitable, green, and climate-ready cities.  This series is co-sponsored by The Forest School at the Yale School of the Environment and the Urban Resources Initiative. All lectures are free and open to the public. Recordings of each session will be available on the event page by the following Tuesday. We will offer CEUs for urban foresters in attendance through the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), Society of American Foresters (SAF), and CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP).
