NATIONAL NEWS
Four Part Marketing & Communications Webcast Available for Download
Conservation groups offer specific services to a targeted audience.  
Translating that into the tree world, marketing is a series of  
strategic activities or decisions to create value in the mind of a  
specific customer. For most tree groups the focus is social marketing-  
influencing perceptions and awareness of specific audiences. Laurie  
Kaufman, Director of Communications at TreePeople, anchors a four part  
series on public relations, branding, advertising, and more. Recorded  
sessions, which include success stories from Keep Indianapolis  
Beautiful, Sacramento Tree Foundation, and Parks and People, as well  
as free online resources can be downloaded now.

LOCAL STORY
Big Push to Plant Trees Where Beetles Roamed
(Worcester, MA)- While the federal government is going to help replace  
many of the thousands of trees coming down to eradicate the Asian  
longhorned beetle in Worcester and four adjacent towns, a homegrown  
initiative with additional tree plantings over the next five years is  
being organized by community groups. Lt. Gov. Timothy P. Murray and  
U.S. Rep. James P. McGovern, D-Worcester, who have been working with  
local organizations to launch the effort, said the public-private  
partnership will involve school groups, neighborhood organizations,  
local environmental and civic and business groups to raise money to  
plant on streets, in yards and park areas.
