Peer to Peer Networking
These sessions offer the unique opportunity to network with and learn  
from your peers. Hear about what works, through successs stories in  
urban and community forestry. Sessions will offer ample time to  
collaborate over meals, receptions, and informal down-time.

Beyond the Forum
What better location than California, and how better to enjoy it than  
with a long weekend? Both sessions are scheduled to end early on  
Saturday so you have time to explore the surrounding area and taste  
what California has to offer, including wine country, beaches and  
boardwalks, cultural attractions, and city nightlife. From a drive  
along the beautiful coast to weekend getaways, California offers both  
urban and natural beauty not to be missed.

Past participants' comments:

"I came not really knowing what to expect, since I've only known ACT  
through the email newsletters. I was delighted by the treasure trove  
of useable information that awaited me."
- Hope Crolius, Amherst Shade Tree Committee

"I came in thinking I just needed a 'tune up.' I left realizing I  
needed a whole new 'fundraising transportation system!'"
- Mary Lou Hildreth, City of Keystone Heights

"I have been fundraising for over 25 years and I still learned  
something today."
- Larry Webber, Keep Brevard Beautiful

"All of the information was relevant and I will definitely be  
recommending the Community Tree Leadership Forums to my colleagues."
- Christie Ralston, Friends of Trow Gardens

"Thank you- this has renewed my commitment to urban forestry for  
another ten years!"
- Joan Lionetti, Trees for Tucson

"This session needs to be repreated annually to reinforce, teach,  
reestablish, and motivate."
- Donna Yowell, Mississippi Urban Forest Council
