Webinar information

Natural disasters result in urban tree debris which most often gets disposed of, with no consideration of higher use as urban wood. Finding a way to incorporate this debris into the local culture of the impacted community, is one way to share the value that urban wood products can bring.

Is this webinar for you?

This webinar is intended for emergency management, public works, and municipal emergency department professionals. Urban foresters and those interested in how a city manages its wood in the wake of disasters will benefit from this webinar as well.
