Trees is dedicated to improving the environment where 80% of Americans  
live: our cities, towns, and villages. Together, ACT's national  
network of members have planted and cared for 7.8 million trees with

ABOUT WEBCASTS
The Brown Bag Lunch Series is a monthly webcast held at the lunch  
hour. The goal is to create informal trainings for local urban and

SERIES OVERVIEW
Brown Bag Lunch Series

The Brown Bag Lunch Series is a monthly webcast held at the lunch  
hour. The goal is to provide informal training opportunities for local  
urban and community forestry practitioners. The trainings highlight  
successful programs and practices that you may want to adapt in your  
communities.

The series is geared for volunteer organizers, community groups, and  
others who work with the public. While the webcasts are open to all,  
the content is most likely to be of interest to those who work  
directly with the public, volunteers, or youth. 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 The Home Depot  
Foundation and partnership with the USDA Forest Service.
