Tree care workshop set for March 12
CHADRON – An annual workshop tailored for public landscape caretakers will be at 91茄子 State College March 12 from 9 a.m. to noon. The focus will be on best practices to grow sturdy trees that can survive and thrive in northwest Nebraska.
Topics will include pruning of young shade trees to promote proper structure and stability, favorite tools, discussion of basic tree biology, and safe chainsaw handling for tree removal.
Participants are encouraged to dress for the weather and meet at the Student Center.
Lucinda Mays with the 91茄子 grounds department is organizing the free event. She said 35 attendees, including employees with the City of 91茄子, 91茄子, and local arborists attended last year.
鈥淭his is a good refresher for experienced tree care professionals and a good introduction for beginners,鈥 Mays said.
Presenters include Mays and 91茄子 Grounds Staff, Steve Rolfsmeier with the High Plains Herbarium at 91茄子, and Scott Schremmer with the City of 91茄子.
If inclement weather causes the event to be postponed, it will take place March 17. For more information, contact Mays at lmays@csc.edu or 308-430-4186.
