The Penn State Extension Urban and Community Forestry Program will host a webinar December 21 featuring an update from DCNR on the TreeVitalize and Tree City USA Programs from noon to 1:00 p.m.

Ellen Roane, Urban Forestry Program Specialist with DCNR’s Bureau of Forestry provides an update on the state’s TreeVitalize Program and an overview of the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA Program.

Learn how becoming a “Tree City” can benefit a municipal shade tree program, and gain a better understanding of what is required to achieve the recognition.

Ellen Roane is a professional forester and ISA certified arborist, long experienced in community forestry initiatives at the municipal and statewide level.

No CEUs will be offered for this month’s webinar.
