Conference Information and Registration Form
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, authorize the Landscape Manager to attend the Annual
Western Chapter International Society of Arboriculture Conference and
Trade Show (ISA Conference) in Tucson, Arizona, from April 28 to May 1,
2010.
Funds are available in Account No. 110-4614-453-3120, Landscape Services
Conference/Seminars/Workshops account.
Backqround
Landscape Services has used the City's Graphic Information System (GIS) extensively
for inventorying and managing plant material, irrigation resources, and contracts. As a
result of this experience, the Landscape Manager has been asked to co-present on the
use of GIS in the management of the urban forest at this year's ISA Conference in
Tucson, Arizona.
Attending the ISA Conference will enable the Landscape Manager to participate in
training that will provide the majority of the continuing education units required to
maintain his Municipal Arborist Certification in the current three-year period. The
opportunity to network with other professionals and stay current with trends in his field is
an additional benefit.
The three-day registration fee for the ISA Conference is $450; and with approximately
$909 for transportation and travel-related expenses (based on the U.S. General
Services Administration Domestic Per Diem Rates for Tucson, Arizona), the estimated
total cost is $1,359. �

1:15 PM - 2:15 PM - Reames, Richard -Arbor Sculpture
Richard Reames will show and discuss his collection of photos showing trees
that have had their trunks shaped for artistic and functional purposes. Pruning,
bending and approach grafting have been used to create amazing works in
living tree trunks. Historical refrences stretching back to 1516 with emphasis
on the work of Axel Erlandson who created a famed roadside attraction with his
trees in 1947. See http://www.arborsmith.com/treecircus
Friday, 4/30/2010, Terra
2:45 PM -4:00 PM - Morris, Bob - Pomology: Citrus, Nuts & Fruit
Growing food and integrating it into residential tandscapes has become
increasing popular over the past two decades. Growing fruit trees in shrinking
home landscapes has become increasingly more difficult due to management
decisions that must be made that can be radically different from decisions
made when managing ornamentals. Most ornamental tree professionals and
arborists are ill-prepared to make these decisions when the end result is
growing high quality food in these landscapes. Mr. Morris will cover the basics
of fruit tree management and present some new techniques focused on
producing high quality fruit in shrinking residential landscapes.
Friday, 4/30�2010, Terra
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM - Britton, Denice- Invasive Tree Species
Exotic tree species take advantage of soif disturbance and high fertility to
colonize the understory of native riparian park forests. In Chico, CA, even a
large riparian park can be overwhelmed by invasive exotic species escaping
from surrounding residential landscapes. These invasives restrict soil and
canopy space for native tree regeneration, create a serious fire hazard and
increase maintenance costs. This presentation will discuss the problems
associated with invasives and detail both successful and unsuccessful
management practices. It will also discuss costs and offer solutions based on
the results of the implementation of various management strategies.
Friday, 4/30/2010,Technology
10:30 AM - 11:45 AM - Karcher, Dana &Knight, Spencer- GIS in the
Urban Forest: More than Trees
Utilizing GPS is the standard for developing tree inventories. Once this
information is captured and put into a GIS layer, what value is the information
in the development of urban forest programs in a community?This
presentation will focus on GIS as a technological tool to support and integrate
both the urban forest layer and other layers into the management of the
natural and built environment in communities. In addition, the presentation will
explore the socioeconomic, environmental justice, health aspects and more of a
community as they relate to urban forests.
Friday, 4/30/2010, Technology
1:15 PM - 2:15 PM -Smiley, Tom - Decay Detection
Dr. Smiley will discuss the various options available for decay detection in
trees.This will include a comparison of the efficacy of the methods. Discussion
will include interpretation of results and the latest on the industry effort on risk
assessment including the ANSI Standard, Best Management Practice and Tree
Risk Assessor Qualification.
Frida�[, 4/30/2010, Technolo4y
2:45 PM -4:00 PM - Downer,.7ames- Soil Biota &Mulches
Soil microbes are an essential biological component of all soils that allow trees
to thrive. Mulch or litterfall is imperative to these systems that rely on organic
carbon for their life cycles. Microbial systems in soil assist in the cycling of
minereal nutrients necessary for tree growth and are responsible for controlling
soil-borne pathogens harmful to trees.
