The inaugural symposium of the UVA Center for Forest Urbanism will begin on October 23 with a Thursday evening keynote by Jeremy Hoffman, Director of Impact Evaluation and Community Science with Groundwork USA. A full day of sessions will follow on Friday, October 24, and will include sessions that cover the work of forest fellows with backgrounds in art, music, and psychology, innovative law and policy aiming to preserve mature urban trees, case studies in tree-friendly development practices, and engagement initiatives from the local Charlottesville community.

The event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP for Friday to allow for planning for seating and refreshments. Registration for Friday will also enter you to win an oak tree seedling from two of the university’s elder oaks.
