Urban Forest Management - ISA Urban Forest Professional: Domain 1

Master the core competencies of large-scale canopy administration and fast-track your preparation for the ISA Urban Forest Professional certification exam. This comprehensive module provides the definitive strategic framework needed to ace Domain 1 by shifting your professional focus from individual tree care to macro-level municipal asset management.

Throughout these 26 episodes, you will explore the urban forest as critical public infrastructure, mastering essential design metrics like Urban Tree Canopy (UTC) calculations, Santamour's 10-20-30 diversity rule, and tree population demographics. We break down how to leverage advanced data collection tools—including GIS tree inventories, rapid windshield surveys, and the USDA i-Tree Suite—to accurately quantify valuable ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, stormwater mitigation, and urban cooling. Finally, we dive into long-term climate adaptation, storm resilience planning, and sustainability indicators. From young tree establishment to writing a 20-year urban forest master plan, this masterclass arms you with the exact technical, ecological, and economic arguments required to build climate-resilient communities.
