Join us for an inspiring webinar featuring trailblazers in urban forestry from Dr. Nadina Galle’s groundbreaking book, "The Nature of Our Cities: Harnessing the Power of the Natural World to Survive a Changing Planet". Discover how pioneering individuals are revolutionizing tree management, mapping, and survival with cutting-edge technology and innovative methods. From geolocated sound that brings "talking trees" to life, to the transformative effects of LiDAR and digital twin technology on tree mapping, and an arborist’s strategies for tackling climate change, these stories are both captivating and educational.

Whether you’re an arborist, city planner, environmentalist, or simply passionate about cultivating greener, healthier communities, this webinar offers essential insights into the future of urban forestry. Explore the dynamic interplay between nature and technology and see how it's shaping the sustainable cities of tomorrow.

Through these fungal networks, ‘Mother trees’ recognize and warn kin of danger. Though widely appealing and massively popular, I will explain why this story does not survive scientific scrutiny.
