.. making a difference in our community .. one tree at a time ..

 
August proclaimed "Forest Pest Awareness Month" in VT, MA and other states.
-- THIS IS IMPORTANT --
 
I am reaching out to you to help protect our urban landscape from the threat of the forest pests!
Asian Longhorned Beetle (ALB) and Emerald Ash Borer (EAB).
 
I am a Master Gardener, SOUL Tree Steward and member of the South Burlington Natural Resources Committee.  I lead a project called TREEage and we are committed to inform our community about this issue.  In addition, we plan to conduct a visual survey of the trees in South Burlington.  This effort will be done in collaboration with our City Arborist, the South Burlington Natural Resources Committee and the VT Agency of Agriculture, following their prescribed protocol.
