Giving Trees a Second Life: Managing Urban Habitat Trees
Dead, dying, and decaying trees are usually seen as urban forestry liabilities—but they are also some of the most valuable wildlife habitats in our cities.
Join us for Giving Trees a Second Life: Managing Urban Habitat Trees to explore how habitat trees support biodiversity and provide critical shelter and food sources for urban wildlife. From legacy trees to fallen logs, discover how habitat value increases with tree age.
We will examine practical strategies for managing habitat trees in urban environments while balancing public safety, risk management, and community education. Learn how arborists and urban forestry professionals can integrate wildlife value into tree risk assessment and long-term management decisions, including innovative techniques such as fracture pruning, coronet cuts, artificial cavities, and the strategic placement of dropped logs. Gain insight into national conservation programs that bring people together to create healthier communities – and important role of urban trees.
Whether you are developing habitat-focused management policies or looking for practical field applications, this session will provide actionable tools and fresh perspectives for creating more ecologically resilient urban forests.
Register today and discover how trees can continue to serve their communities long after decline begins.
