SUMMARY:BMP Talk & Tour: How to Care for your trees and find funding for Urban Forests
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about some local threats to trees\, how to provide excellent care for trees on your facility’s property\, and funding opportunities for urban forestry that are available to local governments through the Inflation Reduction Act. Urban and community forestry have historically been underfunded\, but now may be the time to start asking what is needed to properly care for your trees. \n\nCindi Jablonski from the McHenry County Conservation District will give an overview of spongy moths\, which can be a threat to trees in our area. She will cover their biology and provide some information on the pesticide Btk\, which is commonly used to kill their larvae (caterpillars).\nSteve Lane from Graf Tree Care will teach about best practices for caring for trees as well as possible funding sources to implement these practices on a landscape\, municipal\, county\, etc. scale.\nLisa Haderlein from The Land Conservancy of McHenry County will share information about the their Project Quercus Planting Project where oaks can be planted on your facility’s grounds for free.   \nAfter the presentations we will take a short walk through the oak woodlands near the Center providing additional tips on tree I.D. and tree care.  \n\nTo register for this workshop\, please RSVP at https://tinyurl.com/BMPTourSignup \nThe Talk and Tour workshops are provided by the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County’s Water and Natural Resources Protection Action Team in collaboration with the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development.   \nFor more information on how you can help protect McHenry County’s natural resources visit the Defenders website https://mcdef.org/.
