SUMMARY:Getting to the Roots of Resilience: Re-examining Urban Landscape Diversification
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a UCFS Learning Series webinar – sponsored by Bartlett Tree Experts! \nWhen it comes to designing and managing landscapes\, we’ve all learned that low-diversity\, monoculture landscapes are not sustainable—but why is that? What does it truly mean to diversify a landscape\, and how does it lead to healthier\, more resilient urban environments? \nIn this dynamic\, research-based webinar\, Dr. Chris Riley\, Entomologist at Bartlett Tree Experts\, will do a deep dive into the science and strategy behind building diverse urban landscapes that can stand up to climate stress\, pest outbreaks\, and limited resources. \nJoin us\, as we explore the different dimensions of diversity—species\, structure\, and function—and how they contribute to ecological resilience. We’ll unpack recent research connecting biodiversity with pest suppression and reduced maintenance inputs\, and walk through a practical\, step-by-step diversification strategy that can increase ecological resilience in your urban landscape. \nWhether you’re planting new trees or managing existing landscapes\, this session will help you rethink your approach and root your work in the power of ecological diversity. \nLearning Objectives \nAt the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nDefine and contextualize landscape diversification in urban forestry\, distinguishing between species richness\, structural complexity\, and functional diversity.\nEvaluate the key ecological drivers behind diversification efforts\, including climate adaptation and pest resistance/resilience.\nApply a decision-making framework to guide the planning and implementation of diversification strategies that are ecologically sound and operationally feasible.\n\nSpecial thank you to Bartlett Tree Experts for their generous sponsorship of this event and continued support of the Urban and Community Forestry Society. \nRegister today!
