Take a closer look at Hutchinson’s urban forest and learn what goes into managing the trees throughout our community. Participants will hear about tree selection and planting, boulevard trees, pruning and maintenance, tree diversity, invasive species and diseases, storm response, and some of the common signs of tree stress. The session will include a guided tree walk with opportunities to practice basic tree identification and look at tree health in the field.
