The course is organised by Tony Fearnside, the President of FACTA [Friends

. You could contact him if you would like to attend.
As you can see there will be talks by two of the people involved in
decisions about our urban trees.
On a slightly related matter, on behalf of COG I will be going to a meeting
next Tuesday about the renewal of the Lindsay Prior Arboretum (it is
directly across the lake from Government House). If anyone has any bird
related issues to raise vis a vis this not well known Arboretum please let
me know.
Tony
