Welcome to the i-Tree Academic Project

Overview

academicThe goal of the i-Tree Academic Project is to integrate the i-Tree software suite into university and technical school curriculum. We at the i-Tree Development Team feel that it is of the utmost importance to familiarize the next generation of Urban Foresters, Arborist, Urban Planners, Consultants, and Natural Resource Managers to the i-Tree software as to better prepare them for their professional endeavors. With your help we would like to bring i-Tree to our future community foresters.

On our end, we are opening a line of communication between members of the academic community to facilitate the exchange of curriculum materials, thoughts, and ideas in regards to familiarizing students with i-Tree.

It is only through the participation of the academic community though that this project will be successful. We strongly encourage you to download, use, and even modify the materials on this website to best suit your method of instruction. Furthermore, we request that if you develop your own materials or methods that you feel are useful then to please share your ideas with your colleagues by Submitting Material or posting your ideas on our Discussion Board. A small effort by many goes a long way!
