F Join in panel discussions on developing municipal and community programs to pro-
mote urban forestry activities. Learn from experience on how to do more with less (sound familiar?!) and how to match up fund- ing agencies and resources with local com- munity groups.
F Learn from speakers from all levels of government on how to work together to
strategically conserve, plan, and build our valuable canopy cover.
F Find out how professional organizations for planners, landscape architects, arborists,
and foresters all play significant and some- times overlapping roles in designing and maintaining our urban forests. For the first time in history, you will have an opportunity to have them all at the same table!
F The spectacular Gala Banquet will continue in the longstanding traditions of incredible
food, entertainment, and speakers. This year we are especially honoured to present awards to Chief Tom Tidwell, USDA Forest Service, and Joe Oliver, Ontario Minister of Natural Resources, for their organizations' contributions to urban forest management.
