Reforesting Devon @11:00am – 1:00pm Mountain

Forests are about place and there is huge variation across Britain in how forest cover, emerged, was deforested and then reafforsted over the last century. Geography, soils, climate and economics have all had their part to play and every county is different. Their stories are significant as we look forward at the future of our forest and consider what we can do in the face of a changing climate. This talk covers the story of forests in Devon since the ice ages from the perspective of a manager of a Devon forest.

Turning Data into Action — How Tampa is Rebuilding an Equitable and Resilient Urban Forest @11:00am – 12:00pm Mountain

Join the first Learning Series session of the year! Learn how the City of Tampa is transforming its urban forestry efforts by building not just a tree planting program, but a coordinated system that connects data, city departments and community partners. This session highlights how Tampa is translating two decades of canopy loss and urban heat data into strategic, equity-focused tree plantings across both public and private property.

Following major hurricane impacts, the City of Tampa has turned post-storm recovery into an opportunity to restore and reimagine its urban forest. Through the Trees for Tampa initiative, multiple city departments, nonprofits, and private partners are working together to restore canopy cover, enhance resilience, and promote the benefits of trees to all residents.

Join us to explore critical insights from Tampa for municipal foresters who are navigating similar challenges of canopy decline, climate stress, and the need for coordinated, data-driven action.

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:

Wednesday, January 14th

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.
