The Partners in Community Forestry Conference, which is the largest international meeting spot for urban forestry practitioners, advocates, researchers, and government leaders, looks a little different this year. Like many other conferences, Partners had to make a tough call and switch this year’s event to virtual in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
From November 16 - 20, attendees are able to receive the same top-tier educational and networking opportunities Partners offers every year from the comfort of their own homes. The 2020 event kicks off Monday, November 16, with a session hosted by Davey Resource Group’s (DRG’s) Josh Behounek and others, that shares how to get the most out of this virtual experience by showing attendees how to use the conference app, connecting with speakers and other attendees, and maximizing the educational opportunities.
