  • Learn about caring for trees including mulching, tips for newly planted trees and protecting trees during construction and mowing
  • Understand the benefits trees provide including helping manage stormwater, carbon absorption and habitat for animals
  • Visit 8 stations to see examples of tree stresses such as storm damage, invasive trees, tree cavities, soil compaction and root girdling
