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.
