Please join us on March 13, 2014, 7:30pm – 10pm for this informative talk as we educate homeowners and small businesses on tree benefits, selection, and maintenance. The talk will be held at The McLean Community Center Community Hall at 1234 Ingleside Avenue, McLean, Virginia 22101.
Dr. Jim McGlone, Urban Forest Conservationist with the Department of Forestry in Northern Virginia, will discuss the economic, health, environmental, and aesthetic benefits of trees. His talk will offer an intimate look on the most durable and underutilized native trees for homeowners and small businesses and he will highlight trees that should not be planted in our region and explain why. Additionally, his talk will provide detail tips on how to plant a tree and identify common mistakes we all make in planting trees.
Program participants will be invited to meet with county and non-profit representatives who can provide additional guidance and information on tree selection and maintenance. Additionally, participants will be encouraged to sign up for raffle give-a-ways.
This event is sponsored by the McLean Citizens Association (MCA), the Greater McLean Chamber of Commerce (GMCC), McLean Trees Foundation (MTF), and Fairfax County Tree Stewards.
