The Oswego Lake Watershed Council (OLWC) has developed a simple tool for trained participants to survey Oregon white oaks throughout the City. Locating trees and collecting data on their size\, condition and overall health helps to inform management decisions. While the City is undertaking an inventory of trees on City owned and managed properties\, residents can work with OLWC to help us all develop a better understanding of the urban forest. Participants will gather at the picnic shelter for a brief introduction and follow along as the workshop hosts demonstrate how to use the survey tool and collect tree data\, then set out to survey oaks throughout East Waluga Park with the hosts there to assist and answer questions. After the workshop\, you’ll be trained to survey oaks on your own property or your neighbors’ with their permission and a signed agreement provided by OLWC. This workshop is led by OLWC Project Coordinator\, Rio Hybert\, with assistance from the City’s contract arborist. Pre-registration is required and capacity is limited to 30 participants. Registered participants will receive an e-mail a few days prior to the event with background information to review and instructions for downloading the survey tool to your phone or tablet. Please bring your charged device and wear close-toed shoes. Register here: https://forms.gle/fCpwpQFzPQyPR3Mg6(link is external).
