[ACT] Brown Bag Lunch Series

[Jared Liu]

Brown Bag Lunch Series

Live Online Events

Third Thursday of Each Month
1:00- 2:00pm EST

About the series:
The Brown Bag Lunch Series is a monthly webcast held at the lunch  
hour.  The overall goal is to create informal training opportunities  
for local urban and community forestry organizations.


The series is geared to mainly serve the needs of volunteer  
organizations and community groups.  While the webcasts are open to  
all, the content is most likely to be of interest to practitioners  
who work directly with the public, volunteers, or youth.


The trainings leverage local successes by amplifying to a larger  
audience the model organizations' methods, materials, and approaches.  
Sessions are planned to last no more than one hour, with two  
presenters speaking on the same topic from slightly different  
perspectives, each for 10-15 minutes, followed by 10-15 minutes of  
questions and answers.


The Brown Bag Lunch Series is made possible through support from:
