It is more important than ever that we take a greater interest in our trees and park space in front of our homes, especially given the invasive nature of Dutch Elm disease (or as my friend Emily calls it "Restless Elm Syndrome") To that end I've decided to take the Tree Stewardship class that the City of Portland puts on. I received the class syllabus today and am extending an invitation to all of you to join me in this class - you can register at the door!
The Class times are: 9/29 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm; 10/3 8:30 am-2:00 pm; 10/6 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm; 10/10 8:30 am-2:00 pm and 10/17 8:30 am - 2:00 pm.
It is likely that more of these trees will have to come down and that we will be advocating for their replacement in an ongoing way. So, let's get educated about trees, their care and how best to advocate for them.
