SUMMARY:Tree Guards Part 1: Protecting Street Trees
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that tree guards can improve the health and longevity of NYC’s street trees? These physical barriers discourage people and pets from walking over tree beds\, thereby reducing the amount of waste\, root damage\, and soil compaction. Join this virtual workshop to understand the role that tree guards play in protecting street trees and how to get them installed. We’ll review DIY and professionally-installed options\, the permitting process\, and how to source and pay for materials\, along with a Q&A with urban forest experts. Featured speakers will include James Kaechele\, program manager at NYC Parks Tree Time; Maric Kusinitz\, Tree Planting program coordinator at Big Reuse; and Anneliese Zausner-Mannes\, Tree Team program director at Big Reuse. There will be a prize raffle for those who attend! \nRegistration for this session is required and will close the day before the event. You will receive information on how to join the webinar once you register.  \nInterested in a hands-on opportunity to continue learning? On Saturday\, June 27\, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.\, we’ll be hosting an in-person tree guard installation demonstration. This is a great opportunity to see what you’ve learned in the webinar take place in real life! Learn more and register here.
