Tree Planting and Care Workshop

As the weather is warming up, people are starting to think about planting and post-planting care for their trees. ERCA will host a tree planting and care workshop on Tuesday, March 6, 2007 from 6:30pm - 8:30pm at the Essex Civic and Education Centre, 360 Fairview Avenue in Essex. Paul Giroux, Registered Professional Forester, will focus on replanting trees and restoring your property after it has been victimized by the Emerald Ash Borer. As well, Mr. Giroux will discuss planting practices for trees in this region, as well as soils and species selection.

There will be opportunities for workshop participants to ask other tree related questions, and if desired, trees may be ordered at the workshop. The order deadline is Friday, March 9, 2007, and while there are many varieties of seedlings and large stock native trees available, quantities of some trees species are limited, so place your order soon. This workshop is offered free of charge to the residents of the region, but pre-registration is recommended by calling 776- 5209 ext. 377 or by email to pgiroux@erca.org .
