Eco-A is excited to offer our new Living With Trees series of neighborhood Walk & Learn events and on-line presentations to help everyone better understand how to live with the trees in our yards and communities.
Master Naturalist Kathryn Kolb and ISA certified Arborist Edward Morrow (think Tree Doctor) partner in providing this engaging programming in neighborhoods throughout metro Atlanta and other municipal areas in Georgia, including Athens and Macon.
We show everyone how to recognize trees that may be at risk of falling before they create damage, and we share lots of fascinating facts about trees, and the surprising character and diversity among the trees right in our backyards. We also share tips on how to keep your yard trees at their healthiest and best, so they can safely provide their many benefits for decades and even generations to come.
People are often afraid trees may fall and harm people and property, but most trees tell you they have health problems many years before they fail, we just need to know what signs to look for — and know when it’s time to call an Arborist for professional help. At the same time, folks may lose sleep fearing damage from perfectly healthy trees that have centuries left to live. Knowing more about how to tell healthy trees from potentially hazardous trees can save homeowners the cost of unnecessary tree removal as well as the stress of unnecessary worry. Discovering a tree may be potentially hazardous and pruning or removing it before it breaks or falls can certainly save much cost and heartache.
