Tree Planting Class March 5, 2011

Tree Planting
Jim Woodworth, Director of Tree Planting, Casey Trees
Shawn Walker, Urban Forestry Instructor, Casey Trees
Learn to select and prepare a tree planting site, chose appropriate species for the site, and properly plant the tree to ensure survival. We cover the technique critical to maintaining urban tree health, including mulching, watering and pruning. The service component consists of community tree planting and maintenance projects.
Students from this Tree Planting class are encouraged to volunteer their time to help Casey Trees plant trees around the District. These students are asked to be leaders at community tree planting events and to plant with untrained volunteers.
