EVENT: What Tree Should I Plant? Tree Selections in Western North Carolina - April Wilson, Stump Sprout Tree Consulting
April Wilson, a local ISA Board-Certified Master Arborist, will present her findings on tree failures after Helene. Class participants will examine why some trees are more prone to failure and talk about how to create an urban canopy that is more storm-resistant. We will also discuss climate migration and look at some species that are less common in the landscape but will be highly suitable for the environment we will face in Western North Carolina in the future.
This event is part of the Buncombe County Soil & Water Conservation's Land Recovery Series that explores home vegetation rehabilitation after Tropical Storm Helene.
We will be joined by local experts who will discuss selecting trees, managing invasive plants, using plants to mitigate the effects of damage, and re-planting in storm-damaged areas.
Each free session will include a classroom portion and an outdoor/indoor demonstration. Registration for in-person attendance is required, and each class is capped at 40 participants.
Funding for this series is provided by the Pigeon River Grant from The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina.
