Have you been wanting to plant trees on your property, but are not sure how to start?

Join us on zoom on Wednesday, April 20th, 12-1pm for a virtual introduction to planning a tree planting. We will be joined by Bill Musson, a Forester with Redstart Forestry and Ron Rhodes, the Director of Restoration Programs with the Connecticut River Conservancy. Bill and Ron will provide us with the background information needed to plan a successful tree planting, including species selection, habitat selection, sourcing stock and continual maintenance. This workshop will be followed by an in person, hands on workshop on Saturday, April 30th, 9-12pm at the Ottauquechee River Trail. Registration for both is encouraged but not required.

Presentation will take place over zoom with live closed captioning is available. Workshop is co-sponsored by the Upper Valley Trails Alliance, Vermont Woodlands Association, and Vermont Coverts.
