Do you need justify your tree program with cost/benefit analysis?  Do you want to help your community understand the contribution trees provide to people every day? Are you interested in connecting trees to broad sustainability goals?

If so,  i-Tree can help!  i-Tree is a set of free tools built on science that:

·         Quantify the benefits and values of trees around the world.

·         Aid in tree and forest management and advocacy.

·         Show potential risks to tree and forest health.

·         Are based on peer-reviewed, USDA Forest Service Research in the public domain.

The Massachusetts Tree Wardens and Foresters Association is holding an i-Tree Workshop at the Acton Public Safety Facility on June 4th from 9 am to 1:30 pm.

This workshop will show you all the latest i-Tree tools and teach you how to use this resource to quantify tree benefits and value. Instructor Josh Behounek of Davey Resource Group will walk through and explore the various tools available and talk about different ways to use them. Whether you are a tree warden, city forester, campus grounds manager, or anyone who wants to talk benefits of trees, you won’t want to miss this.

The registration fee of $60 includes lunch.  To register online, click here http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07eg9h8zesbb46f840&llr=wmnvzncab
