SUMMARY:Webinar: Planning for the Unknown: Tools for Urban Forest Pest Preparedness
DESCRIPTION:August 19\, 2026 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm CDT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUrban forests are on the front lines of invasive pest threats and climate uncertainty. This webinar features two practical tools that help communities assess risk\, strengthen preparedness\, and respond strategically to emerging forest pests. Representatives from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources will introduce the Urban Forest Pest Readiness Playbook\, a resource that guides towns\, cities\, counties\, and urban forestry programs through self assessments and recommended actions to close gaps between local managers and state and federal response partners. We will also explore Portland’s Tree Inventory Project and how comprehensive tree data supports proactive management. By measuring\, mapping\, and identifying public trees across the city\, Portland has strengthened its ability to plan for climate impacts and invasive species\, including using inventory data to inform its response planning for emerald ash borer. Join us to gain practical insights and learn about scalable tools that can help your community prepare for the next pest threat before it arrives.
