Please mark your calendars for the Indiana Urban Forest Council's Winter meeting on February 10th in Columbus, IN.  

The meeting will be held at Donner Park and will feature Keynote speaker, IU Professor, international author and recipient of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2009,  Elinor Ostrom.  Dr. Ostrom will speak about urban forests as social-ecological systems.  In addition, Mark Duntemann, owner of Natural Paths Urban Forestry Consultants will cover implementing strategies to increase canopy coverage, as well as evaluating the value of your trees.  We will also have a session that will allow participants to get outside and do some Winter Tree identification if they so desire.  Finally, fact sheets covering 5 major areas of urban forest benefits have been created from the Sample Urban Statewide Inventory data and will be unveiled before they are sent out statewide.  We hope that you'll join us for another excellent lineup of speakers and great networking on February 10th.
