Description

Join us for a celebratory tree walk and community meet-and-greet in honor of Arbor Day. We will open with a brief talk about what you can do to help preserve the urban forest by the City’s Urban Forest Manager, Marty Frye. After that, community members with active educational, promotional, or service projects working towards urban forest health will have the opportunity to speak for 2-3 minutes to introduce themselves and their work and to let others know how they can get involved. Marty will then lead a tree walk from the Public Works building over to Takoma-Piney Branch Park, discussing the identification, ecology, and fun-facts of selected tree species along the way. We hope this event can serve as a worthy celebration of trees and to facilitate connections between tree lovers and advocates in the City. Gathering and talk to start at 10:00 in front of the Public Works Building. Tree Walk to begin by 10:30 and conclude by approximately 11:30 or 12:00. Contact the Urban Forest Manager to give a heads up if you would like to speak about your tree-related community project. Urban Forest Manager Contact: [email protected] – 301-891-7612
