Fall - MAC-ISA
Fall 2015 Canopy Coverage The Official Newsletter of Mid-Atlantic Chapter International Society of Arboriculture Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and District of Columbia Annual Meeting in Annapolis, MD T he MAC-ISA Annual Meeting at the DoubleTree by Hilton Annapolis had a rocky start this year due to the threat of Hurricane Joaquin. However the weather cooperated and the meeting was able to take place and started on Sunday with the TREE Fund fundraisers. Unfortunately the fifth Motorcycle Ride for Research had to be canceled due to the rain in other parts of our area, but the Golf Tournament at the Eisenhower Golf Course took place as scheduled. The tournament was a fun event and both events raised money for the Bonnie Appleton Memorial Fund. The weather was a bit overcast, but we were glad that at least one of the events took place. Field Day on Monday was held at the Quiet Waters Park, about a 10 minute drive from the hotel, and the general sessions were held at DoubleTree by Hilton. Field day started off a bit chilly, but it was a gorgeous fall day, although the wind sometimes played havoc with papers that were Nancy welcoming everyone at Quiet not taped Waters Park down! Despite some cancellations due to the storm we had a record attendance, over 350 people! Special thanks to Paul Foster and Jan van Zutphen, our field day chairs, and all of the volunteers and scholarship students for doing so much to make the day run smoothly. Passing of the gavel to Robert Broadneck Grill and Catering provided our delicious food and apologizes for the long lines at lunch. The best laid plans sometimes go awry. The speakers shared a wealth of knowledge and received great evaluations. Monday night we had a relaxing opening reception filled with great networking opportunities at the Ballroom at Wayne Noll (l), Ron Rubin the hotel. Tuesday had (m), and Lew Bloch (r) enjoy the welcoming reception another line up of informative speakers, an indoor exhibitor show, and our Annual Report presentation and Gold Leaf awards ceremonies along with the passing of the gavel. We again had two annual student scholarship auctions, one at field day and one on Tuesday. We raised $1451 for next year’s meeting and $751 for the Bonnie Appleton Fund! Excellent speakers, networking and the trade show provided great opportunities for learning. Without the help of numerous volunteers, generous cash donations from our sponsors and contributors, the knowledgeable speakers, the exhibitors and all who attended, this meeting could not have happened. A big thank you to everyone who helped out! With over 350 people registered we had an all around successful event and the biggest turnout ever. We hope you enjoy the coverage throughout the issue.

Luckily our region was spared and we enjoyed beautiful weather for another successful event. It is amazing to consider the effort required to pull off the MAC-ISA Annual Meeting. Only our fantastic Executive Director, Nancy Herwig, understands all the moving parts. I feel it is appropriate to begin my service as MAC-ISA President with many thanks for everyone who makes our work possible. First of all I would like to thank the members that participate in all of our programs, you make it possible and worthwhile. The MAC-ISA staff, volunteers and committee chairs did an excellent job organizing the Annual Meeting to insure that our members had the best experience possible. Our sponsors, exhibitors and hosts provided crucial support that helps us to meet the costs of such a large event. The time, effort and knowledge the presenters shared with the attendees of the various educational sessions was much appreciated. We have a wealth of professional expertise in our Chapter that is enviable. Special thanks go to Keith Forry, Past President of MAC-ISA. I have enjoyed serving on the Board during Keith’s leadership. His efficient, no nonsense approach was critical to maintaining an engaged Board. Our organization is strong and sound and in position to provide continued services to our members. Outgoing Board Members; Peter Deahl, Doug Petersen and Kevin Sigmon have worked hard and contributed much to the Chapter. You will be missed! The Board Members are all valuable volunteers that help make MAC-ISA a great organization. Most of them continue to volunteer after they have served their terms. With the Board’s help, and the help of our volunteer members, I would like to focus on leveraging the experience in each of our areas of practice. The Annual Meeting reminds me of the diverse membership of MAC-ISA. We are commercial arborists and consultants, utility and urban foresters, academic researchers and non-profit advocates, as well as government natural resource managers. Our efforts often overlap and we rely on each other’s expertise to accomplish our work. What I enjoy most about being an arborist and urban forester is learning from others in allied fields. This helps me strengthen my skills and results in a better product for the customer, a well maintained, functional community forest delivering all the benefits we espouse. I invite each of you, as members of MAC-ISA, to help build our Chapter. We need your input to deliver the best programming possible. The Board and our volunteers strive to provide opportunities that keep us safe and stress the latest arboricultural Best Management Practices. Volunteers are required to execute such programming. Collaborate with your colleagues to build our capacity as arborists to deliver healthier trees for our clients, residence, neighbors and families.

North Amerian Tree Climbing Championship O n September 19th the North American Tree Climbing Championship was held in Longmont, Colorado. MAC-ISA had four members compete. In the men’s competition Flint Anderson, Thomas Whitelock and Robert Gallant. Jocelyn Lohse competed in the women’s competition and placed third overall in the preliminaries and also in the Masters’ competition. Congratulations!! 2015 ISA Awards T wo of our MAC-ISA members, Paul Revell and Greg Dahle, were recognized at the 2015 ISA Annual International Conference in Orlando, Florida, and received prestigious ISA awards. Congratulations to both for winning these awards! They are well deserved! True Professional of Arboriculture P aul Revell feels a deep responsibility to the public he serves as urban and community forestry coordinator for the Virginia Department of Forestry. Since 1995, he has administered millions of dollars in federal grant funds to communities for environmental education and local improvement projects and has been involved in many components of the urban forestry program in his 30-year career. Revell takes special pride in the Urban Forest Strike Teams (UFST) project, a post-storm response program he helped organize following Hurricane Katrina for assessing tree damage caused by natural disasters. He has participated as a task specialist, team leader, and instructor for UFST and coordinated response teams for six weather events in four states since 2008. Fall 2015 Revell began promoting ISA certification within his department by offering field staff an annual pre-exam training program. He later collaborated with the ISA Mid-Atlantic Chapter to initiate annual training for anyone interested in ISA certification. To date, 450 individuals have participated in the training, and the department now employs 32 ISA Certified Arborists – more evidence of Paul Revell’s dedication to the advancement of arboriculture. Early-Career Scientist Award D r. Gregory Dahle’s initial career interest in wildlife management took a significant turn when he joined the Davey Resource Group as a project coordinator and discovered arboriculture. Seeking further education, Dahle received an M.S. in Arboriculture and Urban Forestry at Purdue University in 2004 and was a member of the inaugural class of Board Certified Master Arborists. In 2009, he earned a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolution at Rutgers University. Dahle is currently assistant professor of arboriculture and urban forestry at West Virginia University where he combines his research with teaching arboriculture and urban forest management courses. Dahle’s research focuses on tree biomechanics and risk assessment. He has made important contributions to many projects, including the 2010 and 2013 Biomechanics Research Week and Symposium. As 2014-15 president of the Arboricultural Research and Education Academy (AREA), Dahle focused on promoting student membership and involvement. He is also committed to growing the West Virginia University Student Arboriculture and Urban Forestry Club and mentoring students who will guide the future of arboriculture.

Climbing a tree? How about the vehicle you ride in? The most hazardous time in your day may be your drive to and from work and between locations! The National Safety Council reports 14% more fatal accidents occurred during the first nine month of 2015 compared to the same period last year. This amounts to one person killed every 51 minutes 365 days a the year, and these deaths are in addition to hundreds of thousands of vehicle occupants who are seriously injured or disabled. Let’s consider some of the leading factors which contribute to the high rates of vehicle accidents: • The use of cell phones to text or talk while driving. The National Safety Council calls this distracted driving. • Excessive speed for road conditions. The average stopping distance for a vehicle and driver in excellent condition and optimum road conditions is 302.28 feet or slightly more than a football field! • Drivers who are impaired by alcohol, drugs, or emotional issues the latter which we often call “road rage”. As many as a third of the drivers on the road around you may well be impaired in their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. • 30% of drivers interviewed said they had gone through a red light once or more times during the previous six months. • New or inexperienced drivers are more easily distracted by other passengers. This is why new drivers are required to limit the number of passengers who may ride with them. So how can we protect ourselves from becoming a victim in a serious motor vehicle accident? Here are a few key ideas to improve vehicle safety: • Verify driver is in peek condition mentally and physically to drive. Inspect to confirm your vehicle is operating properly, especially the brakes, lights, and horn. Check also that YOU are totally prepared to drive. Reduce speed to the match the requirements of road conditions. Don’t text or talk on a cell phone while driving. Change your cell phone voice message to inform callers you may be driving at the time they have called and that you will return their call as soon as it is safe. Then return their call after your vehicle is safely parked and you can give your 100% of your attention to the caller. If you observe another driver driving erratically drop back well away from them. It is more important to avoid an accident than to maintain your ‘rightful’ place on the road. • • • • Continued on page 9. Training is crucial, which is why ACRT places great value in training safety-focused, knowledgeable arborists.

MAC-ISA Canopy Coverage 8 acrtinc.com/training Fall 2015 Safety Column Continued • • When you resume driving after your red light turns to green, delay several seconds after the light changes to allow anyone running their red light to safely clear the intersection. Remember to always drive defensively. Leave enough stopping distance [3 to 4 car lengths] between you vehicles in front and increase this margin of safety when road or weather conditions require it. Be sure there is vacant space beside your vehicle in case an emergency situation develops unexpectedly.

All of the sessions were awesome and a priceless experience for myself. Everyone I met was very nice and full of information and I am so glad that I got to be there to take it all in. I hope to be more involved with MAC and ISA in the future. Dylan Kesner, Glenville State College T hank you for the annual meeting scholarship. The scholarship, funding for registration and lodging, allowed me to attend with ease. Furthermore, meeting mentors and other scholarship recipients proved to be a great segue into networking at the event. I enjoyed my time learning and conversing with others who share my passion for Arboriculture. Your help is greatly appreciated, Alex Grieve, Virginia Tech I want to thank MAC-ISA for the scholarship that allowed me to experience my first Annual Meeting in Annapolis. This experience was extraordinarily wonderful with all the motivating speakers, exhibitors, sponsors and the volunteers, who without them this couldn’t have happened. Also I am thankful to have participated in the silent auction that allows for future scholarships. We were all blessed with wonderful weather during the Annual Meeting, which made the Trade show and Field Day even more of a success and I know I am probably not the only one, but wish I could have participated in all the sessions. So once again thank you for the wonderful experience and I am looking forward to next year’s Annual Meeting. Melanie Richardson, Northern Virginia Community College I had a great time at the MAC-ISA meeting this year.

Frank Santamour Grants Awarded E ach year MAC-ISA awards two scholarships in the amount of $1250.00 each in Frank’s name. We received five applications this year from three different schools. Special thanks to the the committee made up of Paul Martin, Lauren McCallister, Toni Woods, Steve Genua and Jeanne Kavinski for reviewing and scoring all of the applications. There was some stiff competition this year. The scholarships were awarded to Melissa Westbrook, University of Maryland and Michael Webb, Virginia Tech. ear MAC-ISA, My name is Michael Webb and I am a senior studying urban forestry at Virginia Tech. I want to express my gratitude of receiving the Frank Santamour Scholarship. I have been interested in trees since my middle school years and knew that it was what I wanted to pursue in my future. I developed the hobby of tree identification early on which has brought me to be extremely successful in that area today. The closer I got to college I was granted the opportunity to participate in an urban forest inventory with a team of students at Virginia Tech. This was the turning point that lead to my passion for the urban forests in cities. In the past summer I interned at Bartlett Tree Experts in Roanoke, VA which has brought me a lot of enjoyment and appreciation for the maintenance of residential trees for both safety and longevity. Receiving the aid from this scholarship will help me reach my goals in my study of urban forestry. Through which I will learn to maintain urban green space and being able to balance the additions of new infrastructure. After I complete my undergraduate in urban forestry I will go on to become a graduate student. I have a lot of interest in saving and maintaining the ever diminishing urban forests across the United States. Without proper legislation and moving forward with urban forestry concepts the world of urban forests will begin to shrink exponentially. I believe that urban forests are vital for the health of the ecosystem, and habitat of organisms. In addition, with this scholarship I will be able to continue with my studies and fulfill my dreams of one day making a major impact on the urban forest maintenance and expansion. Sincerely, Michael Webb T hank you to the Frank Santamour scholarship committee for granting me this opportunity! I am humbled to receive this scholarship in honor of Fall 2015 Dr. Santamour’s contributions to the field of urban forestry. I am excited to continue my studies in plant sciences at the University of Maryland, and this scholarship will help me realize my academic goals.” Melissa Westbrook Trees Virginia Scholarship T rees Virginia (Virginia Urban Forest Council) is a private, non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance the quality of life through the stewardship of our Commonwealth’s urban and community trees.

Why did you want to be Secretary of MAC-ISA? Back in the spring I moved up here from Charlotte, NC. While in NC I was the NC State Director of ISA Southern Chapter, and I wanted to continue my service to the ISA in any capacity they needed. What is your current position and job responsibilities? Why do you like your job? I am currently the Rockville/ DC Metro Branch Manager for SavATree. I love this position because it allows me to help people grow in the field of arboriculture so they can become better arborists focused on providing responsible solutions to the urban environment. In your opinion, what can arborists do to make themselves more successful? For me, arborists can become more successful if they focus on 2 things: 1. Spend as much time in the field as possible. By keeping a finger on the pulse of your immediate area this will allow you to stay ahead of any trends that could become issues. 2. Provide excellent customer service. If you focus on always doing the right thing, customer service is a no brainer. Who is your role model or idol and why? Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Edison are people who helped shape me. They taught me about overcoming failures and doing the right thing despite it being unpopular or scary. How did you get started in arboriculture? Could you share notable career experiences or awards/achievements you have received? My father was an arborist years ago and I spent summers at a young age helping him. It wasn’t until years later that I found my passion for the industry and I haven’t looked back since. Since my start I have accumulated a few certificates and accomplishments along the way. I am an ISA Certified Arborist/Municipal Specialist, a TCIA, Certified Treecare Safety Professional, and a certified pesticide applicator for 4 states. I have served on the Board of Directors for ISA Southern Chapter as well as the education committee for Trees South Carolina. I have been blessed with touching so many parts of arboriculture. From wholesale nursery, landscaping, groundman, trimmer, PHC/Lawn specialist/ program planner, forest and wetland management, sales arborist, tree inventories and building of inventory software with GIS, arborist equipment sales, consulting, utility line Fall 2015 clearance, and several levels of management. What is the most important factor affecting the arboriculture industry today? The biggest factor with arboriculture today is getting the next generation in place to take it to the next level. Too many up and comers want to skip the basics of tree care and jump right into consulting of sorts. There is simply no substitution for field work, even with an excellent college degree. What are your hobbies and interests outside of arboriculture? I am a guitar player and an avid fisherman. I try to be a student of life so I read books on just about any topic that piques my interest. Member profile interviews are conducted and written by Todd Hagadone Save the Date April 16-17, Mt. Airy, Maryland MAC-ISA Tree Climbing Championship Registration will begin in early January. Volunteers, sponsors and exhibitors are needed.

The tulip poplars have been attacked by the yellow poplar weevil, a small black beetle about the size of a tick. It is a native weevil that lays its eggs on the leaves of the tulip poplar. Then, the larvae hatch and burrow into the leaves, mining the chlorophyll. The populations of the yellow poplar weevils fluctuate from year to year and this year has been exceptionally bad. A healthy tree can generally survive the weevils; it is trees that are already diseased or stressed by drought that stand the greatest risk. This is the work of the locust borer, another native species. The locust borer is a species of longhorn beetle with black and yellow stripes. It is found everywhere where black locust or its cultivars grow. The borers tunnel into the trees’ trunks and branches, causing them to weaken and become more susceptible to blow down. Signs of borer infestation are broken limbs, swollen spots on the trunk, rings of sawdust, and excessive sprout growth. Healthy trees can usually withstand the damage caused by the borers. A mature, dominant tree will only sustain significant damage if stressed by other factors, such as drought, disease, or poor growing conditions. Locust Borer Tulip Tree Scale I T T n many areas, black locusts are losing limbs and may have knots and swollen areas on their trunks. ulip tree scale crawlers become active this time of year. Monitor magnolia, linden and tuliptree for adult females. They are hemispherically- MAC-ISA Canopy Coverage 16 shaped, about 1/3 diameter inches and colored grayish green to orange. Magnolia Scale M agnolia scale crawlers are active from early September through late October. Young females are oval and covered with powdery white wax. Mature females are yellow to brown and may reach ½” in length. This scale sucks phloem sap and may produce copious amounts of sticky honeydew on leaves. Control light infestations by applying insecticidal soap; use imidachloprid as a soil drench for heavy infestations.
