Bernie Hedeen, Partner, General manager, and Chief Designer of General & Marine Construction Company.

Bernie Hedeen, who has many years of experience with slope repair and foundation construction, will discuss slope components including soil structure. He will relate glacial history to how it effects the management of these areas. Issues such as soil types and their characteristics, soil friction and cohesion, soil reports, and landslide types in the Northwest, and repair methods will be discussed. Pat Roome, who specializes in slide prevention and remedial design, will discuss the role and selection of plants for repair after slide damage and preventive measures on potential slide areas. She will focus on how to select aesthetic plants that exhibit the necessary properties for erosion protection, are adapted to the climate of the slide, are pest and disease resistant, and require no water or maintenance. There will be time for questions and discussion.

Root pathogens such as phytophthora have devastating effects on the landscape, especially when infecting large, established trees. These diseases often appear to have few if any controls or treatments. In fact, there are many techniques to prevention and management of root pathogens, such as soil conditioning and mycorrhizal injections. Continue on next page.

Academic Education at CUH

Many of you are aware of the outreach education programs such as ProHort semi- nars that the Center for Urban Horticulture produces each year. It is in fact part of the Center’s mission to disseminate horticultural knowledge to professional horti- culturists in the community. Another large part of our mission is academic research and education. CUH is part of the College of Forest Resources at the UW and boasts one of the largest bodies of undergraduate and graduate students in the college.

A new undergraduate degree, Environmental Horticulture and Urban Forestry, made a debut in the College this year. The three areas of concentration, environmental horticulture, public horticulture, and urban forestry will provide the education, experience and skills for profession in horticulture and related fields. Undergradu- ates have expressed enthusiastic interest in the newly structured program.

The graduate program is more closely tied with the research and teaching at the Center. Faculty guide students in programs such as environmental horticulture, urban forestry, public garden management and education, curation, restoration ecology, and plant conservation biology. Teaching and research takes place at the Center, the Washington Park Arboretum and other sites around the Puget Sound. Currently, there are 26 graduate students in residence, bringing a diversity of experience that further enriches the Center.

If you are interested in learning more about the programs at the Center, please visit or log on to our web site at http://depts.washington.edu/urbhort or call 206-543- 8616.

ProHort Seminars are planned and conducted cooperatively by the University of Washington Center for Urban Horticulture and the Washington State University Cooperative Extension-King County Horticulture Program.
