Managing Trees Workshop to be held March 7
The Grand River Conservation Authority is hosting a Managing Trees Workshop in Cambridge on March 7.
The workshop will answer questions landowners may have about trees and help develop skills and strategies to maintain and improve their trees.
This free, day-long event is geared toward rural landowners with properties larger than 2.5 acres. A broad range of topics will cover planting, pruning, common tree diseases, invasive species, hazard trees, forest health, grant opportunities and supporting wildlife habitat.
The workshop will take place on Saturday March 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the GRCA Head Office (400 Clyde Road, Cambridge) and includes a walk though a hardwood forest, weather permitting.
Landowners with properties greater than five acres may be eligible for funding for tree planting or wetland creation projects. Priority is given to areas directly adjacent to watercourses.
Participation is free and lunch is included.
