I-PED Online Training Workshop Series
Plan to join us in April, online via the Internet, to be introduced to the latest tool in the i-Tree software suite – IPED. This software program will help you to survey the trees in your community for signs and symptoms of invasive pests and stresses, and diseases. The online training seminar series will take place over a four week period, with live, interactive sessions led by members of the IPED development team.
This web-based series will introduce IPED to you, help you understand its value as an important tool in your urban forest management toolkit and provide you with hands-on demonstrations related to the installation, use and reporting components of the software. There will be ISA CEU credits awarded to those who complete the full series of web sessions. Additionally, online resources will be provided to participants that will enhance your learning experience. Plan to join us in April for this informational series.
