NEW JERSEY ARBORISTS, CHAPTER ISA, INC.

Here is a list of our upcoming events (in order by date):

one-hour online, live presentations by experts in a variety of fields

Date: Second Tuesday of Every Month

The Penn State Natural Resources Extension program and the Pennsylvania Forests Web Seminar Center are offering one-hour online, live presentations by experts in a variety of fields related to stewardship and forest resources issues. Webcasts will be offered at noon and 7 p.m., skipping July and August. To view the past and upcoming seminar schedule and to register to take part in the live seminars, visit http://rnrext.cas.psu.edu/PAForestWeb/. To participate in the live seminars you must register and have a "Friend of Penn State" user ID. The "Register Now" page on the website will walk you through this process. To view live and previously recorded seminars you will need a high-speed Internet connection and sound. Participation in the web seminar does not require any special software. Each session is recorded and loaded onto the Web Seminar Center along with a copy of the presentation and any handouts. So, if you are unable to participate in the "live" session, a recording will be available for you to view at your convenience. Of course, none of the interactive elements will be available when watching the recording. The seminars will be viewed online at what is referred to as a meeting area. It is simply a web page, with a unique web address, that allows you to view, listen to, and interact with a live seminar. At the on-line meeting area you can view and hear the presentation and ask questions using the chat feature. Presentations will usually last about an hour, though sometimes questions can run long. Please contact Allyson Muth at abm173@psu.edu with additional questions.
