Then: In 2005, Leonard Phillips was developing a free website called Online Seminars for Municipal Arborists to make it easier for researchers to share innovations. Visit here.

Now: The online educational tool is almost eight years old and still free. At the end of each seminar, the site offers a test for International Society of Arboriculture certification CEUs, where participants can earn up to 30 CEUs via the site per year. Phillips adds eight new seminars every other month.
