Spring has finally arrived and the leaves on the trees have come out enough so we can identify the trees and we can once again build the NeighbourWoods survey/inventory. This process will help the community learn about the wonderful resource we have, and the many benefits the urban canopy bring to the neighbourhood.
As a kickoff to the summer’s work for newcomers as well as returning volunteers, come to a day devoted to (re)learning the NeighbourWoods protocol for assessing tree size and condition and to using various keys to identify trees. Bring a friend, bring a neighbour!
Meet at 9 AM Saturday, June 10 at the tree slice at the Fieldhouse, 149 Cowley Avenue (Sunday a rain day).
Contact Catherine Shearer (metshag@gmail.com) or Daniel Buckles (dbuckles@sympatico.ca) for more details, and to RSVP.
