Learning about Tree Health at the Wakefield Estate

On August 9th, the Wakefield Charitable Trust hosted a workshop on tree health led by Dave Ropes from Tree Specialists, Inc.  After an engaging power-point presentation and discussion, Dave and the Wakefield staff led the participants on a tour of the estate to view a wide variety of trees and discuss a number of  factors related to keeping them healthy.  Issues covered included soil management, pruning, pest control, irrigation and the natural life cycles and processes of trees.
