Avery Dining Hall

The Urban Canopy: Growth for the Next 100 Years

Daniel Goyette, ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, The Huntington,

Our urban canopy is undergoing significant change due to stress from development, climate change, drought, and a variety of other factors. Mr. Goyette's talk will focus on how to plan for this change and plant the canopy that will dominate the landscape 100-150 years from now. Additionally, the talk will discuss how to include and integrate such a plan into a master plan and allow the canopy restoration work underway at the Huntington to spread beyond its boundaries and take root, literally, in adjacent and surrounding communities.

The talk will end at 1pm and will be followed by an informal conversation with the speaker until 1:30pm.

Lunch provided - come promptly. All members of the community are welcome to attend.
