SUMMARY:Autumn Dendrology Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this course\, we will explore the trees of Duke Farms through the lens of biology\, ecology\, and biodiversity.\n\n\nCourse Overview\nLecture material on how trees fit into our local ecosystems—both today and into the future—will contextualize the strong focus on tree identification necessary to understand these complex organisms. Some background in basic tree identification is recommended\, but not required. This course will be geared toward educators\, land managers\, ecologists\, conservationists\, shade tree commission members\, and other professionals. \nA 1.5-hour lecture will cover the impact of climate change\, pests\, and invasive species has on trees and will be followed by 2.5-hours in the field to discuss tree identification in the fall. \nFeatured Topics:\n\nTree identification\nClimate change\nPests\nInvasive species\n\n\n\nContinuing Education Units\nThe Autumn Dendrology Workshop is approved for credits from the following organizations. \nNew Jersey Board of Tree Experts: 4 credits \nInternational Society for Arboriculture: 4 credits \nNew Jersey Urban and Community Forestry (NJUCF): 4 credits \n\n\nPrerequisites\nThis program assumes participants have a basic knowledge of plant species identification and understand general ecology concepts. Please note that field classes will take place fully outdoors and will require participants to partake in fieldwork\, including travelling several miles on various trail types (paved and unpaved) and uneven terrain for up to 2 hours. \n\n\nProgram Guidelines\nPlease stay home if you are sick.
