    Free ISA CEUs: Week of January 12, 2026

    Hi everyone,

    Snow has finally arrived!

    We’re currently in Santa Fe, New Mexico, over 7,000 ft (2133 m) in elevation. Most of the winter has been so unseasonably warm that the cottonwoods are already budding out. It looks like the fruit trees are still in dormancy, but if we get a few more weeks of warm weather after this cold snap, fruit tree buds may be at risk of frost damage.

    If you have questions about your trees or other plants that have been affected by the weather, feel free to comment, send an email or book a meeting to learn more.

    Here are the free ISA CEUs for this week:

    Veteran trees – navigating too many definitions @ 11:00am-1:00pm Mountain

    Arboricultural Association Wednesday Webinar Series presents Veteran trees – navigating too many definitions with James Chambers.Ancient and other Veteran trees are the most important trees any of us will ever deal with. And, with an ever-increasing range of threats to trees, the proper identification of and protection for veteran trees is crucial. But with so many definitions and the range of conflicting advice out there, it can be difficult. Join me for a walkthrough of many definitions to come to a reasonable, balanced, practical conclusion about how to properly recognise and categorise veteran trees.

    James has over 25yrs experience in the Arboricultural profession, from climbing arborist to tree officer, urban forest manager to principal consultant, with a wide range of experience across arboriculture. He is a veteran tree specialist, qualified VET cert at consulting level, and a VETcert trainer for the ATF. Regularly volunteering for Forest Research, identifying, collecting & submitting samples of several novel pests & diseases, he is also a tree specialist investigation expert, a SAG Baumstatik member, working with decay detection & dynamic load tree stability testing, co-founder of ATF Essex Local Branch, regularly leading veteran tree walks, with a passion for learning & sharing information about trees.

    Beyond cultivation: tracking the spread and ecological effects of the golden oyster mushroom @ 11:00am MST

    Arboricultural Association Wednesday Webinar Series presents Beyond cultivation: tracking the spread and ecological effects of the golden oyster mushroom with Michelle Jusino. The golden oyster mushroom (Pleurotus citrinopileatus) is a popular edible fungus that has recently emerged as an invasive species in North American forests. Building on recent work published in Current Biology, this talk will summarize evidence that golden oyster mushrooms are spreading rapidly and are associated with reduced native fungal diversity on colonized trees. I will also highlight ongoing efforts to develop molecular tools for detection and monitoring of this species, and discuss future research directions needed to assess ecological impacts and inform management.
