Street Tree Seminar, your LA/OC Regional Forests Council, Presents our Winter Western Tree Management Symposium for 2021

Join Urban Forestry professionals in this day-long dive into the effects of a pandemic on our urban and community forests.  We will hear from experts and we will hear from each other. These are unique times. Our success depends as much on our reactions as actions.  Let’s keep our Southern California canopy growing – together we can create action to do just that.
