Center for Watershed Protection Webcasts
Visit this link for registration information for two upcoming CWP webcasts:
Urban Watershed Forestry
November 18, 2009 | 12-2pm Eastern
Covering Urban Tree Canopy 101, Advanced Urban Tree Canopy, and, for those math geeks out there, Urban Tree Accounting, plus a virtual field trip to learn hands-on planting and maintenance techniques from our resident forester. The webinar will introduce participants to various urban watershed forestry tools and will feature guest speakers from two communities to share their experiences with urban forestry at the municipal scale and the site scale.
Erosion/Sediment Control
December 15, 2009 | 12-2pm Eastern
This webcast will provide an introduction to the elements of effective local erosion and sediment control programs. It will provide information on addressing NPDES MS4 construction site runoff control requirements, developing meaningful erosion and sediment control plans, reviewing the effectiveness of site-level erosion and sediment control practices, and developing an effective plan review, inspection, and enforcement process. The webcast will also address training and certification and using third-party inspectors to ease the burden on local program resources.
