Public Workers Tree Seminar
Thursday, March 13, 2008
7:15 am - 3 pm
Boone County Extension Office
6028 Camp Ernst Road, Burlington, KY
Weather conditions in 2007 were devastating to trees
growing in Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati. A
destructive ice storm and crippling late spring freeze
preceded an epic drought, driving many trees into
a spiral of decline and some eventual death. Last
years catastrophic weather will have a long
term detrimental impact on surviving trees throughout
this region. Urban trees existing in non-native
environments require supplemental maintenance and
care to reduce these impacts.
If you are committed to
the care of trees in your county, community, or
neighborhood come to a better understanding of "Managing
Urban Tree Stress" at the Boone County Extension Office
on March 13, 2008. This program is especially intended
for public works employees, tree board members and local
volunteers who share in the care of our community trees.
Please download the
registration flyer for details. This program will
provide 5 CEU's for ISA Certified Arborists.
