More about Living With Trees walks and presentations
Most trees will tell us they have health problems years before they fail — if we know what signs to look for. Master Naturalist Kathryn Kolb and ISA certified Arborist Edward Morrow (think Tree Doctor) lead an engaging program in how to identify easy-to-learn clues that a tree might become hazardous before it can create damage. Plus they’ll share many fascinating facts about trees generally, as well as tips on how to keep yard trees in their best health.
Our goal is to help prevent hazardous trees from causing damage, and alleviate unnecessary worry about healthy trees, which can save homeowners the cost of unnecessary tree work or removal. Everyone should learn the basics, and know when it’s time to call an Arborist for professional help. Pruning dead branches or knowing when to remove remove a potentially hazardous tree can save much cost and heartache.
