00:33:04 KristaH - Philly: Hi Naomi! 00:33:57 Naomi Zurcher: Hi Krista. Hope all is well. 00:35:36 KristaH - Philly: Feel free to ask questions in the Chat window! 00:36:06 KristaH - Philly: We will address them during Q&A at the end of the presentation 00:36:36 Naomi Zurcher: Hi to everyone from Luzern Switzerland 00:40:28 KristaH - Philly: The I-Tree Hydrology tools can be found in the Research Suite: https://www.itreetools.org/tools/research-suite 00:50:10 Karen Cox: Could you repeat the specific effect of tree cover on runoff 00:50:41 Jeff Tandul: James, do you think that the 2:1 ratio of increase cover increase to reduced stormwater reduction is consistent over larger samples? 00:51:58 Jeff Tandul: Did you look at placement of tree cover vs runnoff? 00:52:18 Jeff Tandul: Yes 00:52:45 Naomi Zurcher: James - has slope had any impact on the runoff calibration? 00:53:22 KristaH - Philly: Some of these questions will be addressed in future slides and points! 00:54:33 KristaH - Philly: Naomi - slope is considered through the input of elevation data for the watershed with I-Tree Hydro+ 00:56:10 Naomi Zurcher: Thanks Krista. We can’t use Hydro or any of these tools in Europe so I don’t know the varied criteria. 00:56:30 Jeff Tandul: Is canopy increase best at the outer portions of the watershed, or closer to the bottom. You are discussing this now but maybe an clarify a bit more at the end. Seems like there are benefits to outer part of watershed, by preventing runnoff from reaching the outlet, but also at near the outlet to act as a filter and provide last chance of infiltration. Complicated stuff. So glad you are doing this presentation. 00:57:14 Richard Karty BUND-Berlin: On what cover type/land use is the tree canopy found, in the first research question? 00:57:39 Nadia Vogt-Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District: What watershed is this? (I am in Milwaukee so just curious) 00:57:56 Robbie Coville (he/him): This is the Kinnickinnick watershed 00:59:00 Jeff Tandul: Did you look at species composition related to this at all? Also, in the midatlantic we are losing many species due to invasive insects and diseases, e.g. EAB, ALB, Bacterial Leaf scorch, Spotted lantern fly. 00:59:09 Debbie Novellino: in phase 2, where in upstate NY is this forest run off area located? 01:00:41 Naomi Zurcher: James - did the buffering consider species’ ability to phytoremediate and the affect of phytoremediation in terms of nutrient load reduction? 01:00:56 Jeff Tandul: Did you study benefits of contiguous forest/cover vs. patchwork? (Complicated to do that but wondering) 01:08:42 Debbie Novellino: is this going to count as CEU credits for towns, cities, municipalities? 01:08:59 Debbie Novellino: very informative and great data 01:09:20 Jeff Tandul: Excellent presentation 01:10:26 Debbie Novellino: thank you for this presentation 01:11:21 Nadia Vogt-Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District: Can you please send the link to that document you just showed? 01:12:54 KristaH - Philly: Debbie - yes, Dave B will share the CEU info at the end! 01:13:17 KristaH - Philly: Nadia - do you mean the flow chart? We can definitely ask! 01:13:42 Debbie Novellino: thanks Kristin 01:13:56 Nathan Ayers: Great presentation. We are developing agroforestry based remediation projects in the muskegon river watershed. Looking very forward to digging deeper into this research. Thank you! 01:14:40 Jason Henning - i-Tree Team: Nadia - That fact sheet is on the project website Robbie will show in a few minutes. 01:14:46 Naomi Zurcher: James - in urban areas, we have the added issue od extensive soil compaction in addition to extensive impervious surfaces. Do any of the tools that were used in this modeling consider compunction issues? 01:15:07 Cristina Niciporciukas: Do you consider the runoff of average lawn fertilization a high nutrient loading area? 01:16:41 Debbie Novellino: this is great to show various different types of watersheds in different areas throughout the country, from cities through rural /agricultural areas. I live in an rural/agricultural area with 5 headwaters of different watersheds in Central NJ. 01:17:21 Rita Stevens: Abington PA- intend to use this to build support case for preservation of woodlands within the Pennypack Creek headwaters 01:17:57 Sheila McEwen: Locally we're fighting urban boundary expansion, primarily to save peripheral agricultural land. But I wonder whether urban intensification will exacerbate the city's contiguous impervious surface. Can your tools help us find the balance between urban intensification and urban forests benefits? 01:18:18 Sophie Glovier: I work with municipal governments to address stormwater runoff related issues. These tools could be very helpful to build the case for investment in natural solutions and to suggest hotspots to prioritize for the use of green infrastructure 01:22:31 Michael Mayfield: Terrific presentation! thank you 01:22:54 Jason Henning - i-Tree Team: Project page - https://www.itreetools.org/support/resources-overview/project-profiles/glri-forest-planning 01:24:38 Debbie Novellino: terrific information, thanks to both of you for providing this information and the presentation 01:25:32 JOEL KUPFERMAN: Is there a way to assess/factor in toxic soils into the program? Joel K 01:27:36 Richard Karty BUND-Berlin: How is tree cover defined? i.e. 100% closed canopy? or for example does 90 or 80% canopy cover count as "tree cover"? 01:28:17 Richard Karty BUND-Berlin: oops - I got it - please ignore my question! 01:30:27 Jeff Tandul: Can you discuss private vs public ownership of forested areas and canopy? That is always a tricky political question, and also may affect tax revenue for preserved areas vs. developed area on private lands. 01:35:13 José Massano Monteiro: Excellent presentation. My congratulations (from Portugal). 01:35:21 Jason Henning - i-Tree Team: Here is that fact sheet directly, https://www.itreetools.org/documents/735/GLRI_ForestPlanning_factsheet.pdf 01:37:49 David Bloniarz: Thank you to all of our participants for joining the webinar today… from across the U.S. and around the globe. 01:39:15 David Bloniarz: Switzerland, Portugal, Germany just to name a few of our international locations that are online today. 01:39:55 Naomi Zurcher: Thanks Jason 01:40:28 Mary Kozub: Hoping to use these tools to write a grant to help in canopy recovery due to EAB. Thank you all your time and expertise. 01:40:29 David Bloniarz: Hawaii, Washington state, California and Colorado are a few western states 01:40:52 Sheila McEwen: Thanks, this is very helpful 01:45:05 JOEL KUPFERMAN: We are advocating for the utilization of iI-Tree analysis in upcoming federal infrastructure grant determinations and application requirements. 01:45:36 Jeff Tandul: I attended a stormwater utility seminar yesterday and if towns start charging for runoff like they do with sanitary sewers, there will be incentive to preserve. 01:47:23 Debbie Novellino: can you provide some grant info to us as well, thanks 01:48:17 Naomi Zurcher: In Luzern, we are currently looking at ways to increase accessible open soil volume to increase filtration and infiltration rates as a nature based solution to mitigate runoff. The fact that we have been flooded for the past week will help the initiative 01:50:58 Theodore Endreny: Great webinar David and Krista, Robbie and James! You disseminated important news and captured the fun in the work of riparian buffer analysis! 01:51:02 Jason Henning - i-Tree Team: State urban forestry coordinators can be a good source for grant information. Many USDA funds are first distributed to states for further distribution to communities. https://www.arborday.org/programs/treecityusa/forestrycoordinators.cfm 01:51:47 Debbie Novellino: thank you for all the information, I'll check this out 01:52:18 Naomi Zurcher: Thanks everyone for an excellent and informative presentation. 01:52:33 Jeff Tandul: Great session! 01:52:34 Wai Lee: Thank you James, Robbie and the iTree team. 01:52:35 KristaH - Philly: Debbie - the 319 Grants are actually administered thru EPA, but they work hand-in-hand with NRCS 01:52:45 Denny Taylor: excellent presentation and discussion 01:52:55 Jason Henning - i-Tree Team: Unfortunately, NJ's position is currently listed as vacant but there are resources here, https://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/forest/community/index.html 01:52:58 Debbie Novellino: thank you Robbie, Jason, and all the itree group 01:53:05 Rita Stevens: Excellent session- thank you! 01:53:23 Cristina Niciporciukas: Thank you! 01:53:25 Ellen Silverman: Thank you good presentation. 01:54:23 Thomas Wilde: Please send me a certificate.
