Urban foresters have long known that good soil quality makes for healthy, long-lived trees that can weather the ups and downs of droughts and the stresses of urban living. Although urban soils are often poor, there are ways to counteract “compacted urban soil syndrome.” This roundtable will look at the research surrounding current soil amendments and examine costs and benefits of two: biosolids and biochar.
There is a $5.00 registration fee for everyone attending.
The total registration fee is $15.00 if you would like lunch provided.

SAF Credits: This program has been approved for 4.5 Category 1-CF Hours.
- Why Do Trees Die? - Dr. Rex Bastian, The Care of Trees and Davey
As arborists, we recognize that trees die. Our clients commonly expect their trees to live long, trouble-free lives. When they don't, our clients look to us for an explanation. Knowledge of these principles will enable us to become better arborists by understanding the rigors trees face on a day to day basis.
- Determining Tree Risk Thresholds - Mark Duntemann, Natural Path Urban Forestry Consultants
Much of our understanding of tree risk is driven by high-profile, tree-related litigation, perpetuating the poor understanding of risk. Risk is managed over time by implementing thoughtful risk reduction strategies.
- Tree Selection and Climate Change - Dr. Richard Olsen - U. S. National Arboretum
How does one go about selecting and planting urban trees appropriate to both current and projected climate conditions? Current models, research tools and scrutiny of the world's temperate flora provide insights on how to move forward with planting a resilient and diverse urban forest.
- Urban Forestry Emergency Management Planning - Mark Duntemann, Natural Path Urban Forestry Consultants
When the next significant storm event will occur in Virginia is unknown, but our collective understanding is that it will occur. This session will provide historic insights on the three elements of storm preparedness: planning, response and recovery.
