You are invited to attend the 6th annual Urban Forest Summit. This is an opportunity to expand your arboreal knowledge, discuss the importance of a healthy, interconnected urban ecological system and share opportunities to maintain and support the health of the urban forest.
This year’s agenda will include an update on the City of Lake Oswego Community and Urban Forestry Plan, information on tree care and maintenance, understanding our urban forest from floor to canopy, and best practices for native plant landscaping. We’ll be exploring how we can care for our urban forest, individually and collectively.
The opening speakers will be Jack Halsey, Executive Director of the OLWC, Jessica Numanoglu, Community Development Director for the City of Lake Oswego, and Scott Altenhoff, Manager of the Urban and Community Forestry Program at the Oregon Department of Forestry. They will be followed by the following panelists: Caitlin Pope Daum, Principal Landscape Architect at Studio Wild, Ian Hunter, founder and owner of Phoenix Habitats, and Leah Puhlman, Master Gardener Oregon State University Extension.
The Urban Forest Summit is presented by the Oswego Lake Watershed Council in partnership with the Lake Oswego Sustainability Network.
