Trees and Hurricanes

Hurricanes damaged many trees in Pinellas County, but we can take steps to protect those that survived – and plant more! We’ll discuss basics of caring for trees and preparing them for the next hurricane season, as well as what trees are the most wind resistant and what trees will survive some coastal flooding.
