KUDOS for TreeLink
Testimonials from our readers

Thanks for your good work with TreeLink and urbnrnet. I always find good information there.

R.J. Laverne, Urban Forester/Ecologist
Davey Resource Group


As always, I think the website looks great and continues to improve. I really like the Resource Center concept. We need this kind of resource, and I use it regularly.

I give the students a link to Treelink and a couple of other websites as important websites at the beginning of class. Treelink is so comprehensive, I like to give it to the students as a primary resource site rather than list it under the separate topics.

W. Todd Watson, Ph.D.
Texas A&M University Department of Forest Science


You have certainly created an incredible support network for all of us.

Joan Lionetti, Executive Director
Trees for Tucson / Tucson Clean & Beautiful


From the very beginning I have been referring our RI Tree Stewards to TreeLink as a primary website. It's getting better and better.

-Alice Ewen Walker, Executive Director

I just want to thank you. To have a well organized compilation of reliable information presented in a reasonable and accessible form is invaluable. I will pass the site on to our state Tree Council newsletter.

Thanks again for the great support that TreeLink has provided . . . TreeLink has been helpful in many ways to the Foundation in terms of informing the urban forestry community about our programs, seminars, etc., and we really appreciate it.

What a great idea! We have 600 college students each year who have to find a community environmental project for 20 hours each semester at Philadelphia University . . . hopefully it'll make my job as one of the coordinators easier!

-Dr. Anne Bockarie

(TreeLink) is to be commended for his continual efforts to heighten awareness and support for Urban and Community Forestry throughout this country and abroad. TreeLink is an excellent resource for information on urban forestry research, trends, and issues that benefit us all. In addition to the vast resource information posted on this site, and its related links, TreeLink's Job Bulletin has proven to be a very effective . . .

-David B. Sivyer, Norfolk City Forester


The site is so wonderful and you have such a giving heart. It's the community resource that everyone needs and bless you for being at the helm.

Thank you for all your help in gathering information about the policies of other municipalities. Many people have reached out to us and the information has proven to be very useful and informative.

It was very gratifying to see the profile of The Morton Arboretum in WoodNotes! Thanks for the support and the publicity.

-Christopher P. Dunn, PhD, Director of Research

Just wanted to let you know that I think you have done a great job with the TreeLink site.

-Paul D. Ries, Executive Director, Pacific Northwest Chapter
International Society of Arboriculture


Thanks again for your good work and leadership with TreeLink. It is amazing how far you have gone with this service . . . TreeLink and the associated networks play an invaluable role in enabling both networking and communicating urban forestry nationwide. It has provided the glue to the program's broad constituency . . . I believe we are in our infancy with respect to the capabilities of this technology, and how we are using it, and we are limited only by our imagination and reluctance to invest. I also believe investing in TreeLink at the national level is appropriate, and should be considered a small business communications cost.

-Ed Macie, Regional Urban Forester
Southern Center for Wildland Urban

SUPERB batch of (WoodNotes quarterly e-zine) articles this go-round, Pepper. Especially liked Alice's reality reportage! Keep up the good work.

Regarding Jobs posting:
I have a new position opened which I have posted as of today. Last time that I advertised I had many qualified arborists apply. This is a great service !
Thanks,

TreeLink's "Expanding Canopy" (two-year strategic plan) is creating national name recognition for Urban and Community Forestry. In my 21 years of professional involvement in Urban and Community Forestry, the greatest challenges I have faced were those that involved educating and gaining the support of the public. This support is vital to all aspects and all sectors of Urban and Community Forestry and Arboriculture as it directly affects Green Industry economics, local and national program funding levels, and policy development.

-Steven Churchillo
Boise City Forester


The Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the Olympic Winter Games of 2002 strongly supports TreeLink. It provides a very valuable service for the urban forestry community . . .

-Diane Conrad, Director, Environmental Programs

Wonderful site . . . I began reading the back issues of TreeLink WoodNotes. It suddenly occurred to me that this may be one of the best sites I've ever read regarding the accumulation of resources . . . thank you for providing me with some very good research information.

-Steve Umba, Reporter/photojournalist
Haddam, Connecticut

Subject: Urban Natural Resources Network (URBNRNET) ListServ
I find the people who follow URBNRNET to be more actively involved with each issue and what is going on in the industry . . . There is really more discussion of enabling legislation, landscape ordinances, tree laws, land alteration codes on your server. Keep it up. Good luck with TreeLink and thank you for keeping URBNRNET on the go.

-Prof. Buck Abbey

This ListServ is becoming a critical resource that has been strengthened through its alliance with your organization. Keep up the good work!

After looking through your progress report, I realize how much I missed. You are really changing the nature of the business. My compliments to you!
