Tree Walks and the ‘Microforest’ Project Steve Cronkite Vice-Chair, Middletown Urban Forestry CommissionSteve will discuss an upcoming tree walk, open to the public, and also plans for a ‘Microforest’, based on the Miyawaki Forest concept.
Further Tree Discussions and a Look-AheadThe Commission recognizes that the people of Middletown have a great deal of interest in their trees and that these trees are a fundamental part of the city’s environment. The contribution of trees is something that we all share.
We want to use this time to explore ways in which the community’s involvement with the urban forest can benefit everyone. Included in the discussion will be the importance of public trees, the role of the tree warden and why public involvement is of such value.
The potential for future grants and other tree-related activities will also be considered.
All are Invited! Come hear about what is going on with the trees in Middletown. Find out how you can help.
