Shade Tree Council Hosts Tree Care Seminar
For the 20th consecutive year, the Carson City Shade Tree Council will host its annual Fall Tree Care Seminar on November 2, 2011. The Seminar will be held in the Sierra Room at the Community Center from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. and is open to all tree care professionals and tree lovers in the community. The Community Center is located at 851 East William Street in Carson City.
This year’s seminar will feature guest speaker Michael Janik, an ISA-certified arborist who specializes in fruit trees and espaliers. Tom Henderson and the staff of Healthy Trees will demonstrate practical tree trimming and planting methods. A tree planting demonstration is planned for the morning session.
Tentatively scheduled is a presentation on the Carson City Greenhouse Project and a tour of the greenhouse.
