DECA Tree – Tree Care Education + Adopt-a-tree
Happy Spring from DECA Tree!
Thanks to our wonderful DECA Tree volunteers, Catherine and Anne, for this post and for their neighbourhood tree heroics!
Take a moment to stop and look, and you will see signs of new growth on the trees! Buds swelling and branches elongating and changing colour. For newly planted trees, care starts as soon as the ground is warmed up.
So, we’re kicking off 2014 with a TREE CARE EDUCATION session. Please come and meet other people who care about trees, and learn to care for your trees. We also have trees up for adoption!
DATE: Wednesday April 23 at 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.
PLACE: Danforth and Woodbine (southeast quadrant).
For the address, please email decaaat@gmail.com or call Anne Howatt at 416-617-6431.
There will be wine and beer, and coffee and tea. Please feel free to bring a snack, something to share or something to drink OR JUST SHOW UP! Bring along friends or neighbours who care about trees (their own) or are interested in adopting a tree (or two).
Thank you!
Anne Howatt and Catherine Dorton (Volunteers DECA TREE)
