'Keeping Our Trees Beautiful' Program at EB Library, June 22

Trees add beauty, shade and value to our homes, but often don’t get the same attention given to our manicured lawns until they wither or are damaged by insects or storms. Certified arborist Paul Mickiewicz will discuss a science-based approach to maintaining the health and beauty of our trees and landscapes at the East Brunswick Public Library at 7 p.m., Wednesday, June 22.

“Keeping Our Trees Beautiful” will be a hybrid program available via Zoom for those who prefer to view it remotely. Go to this link to register for the online program on the ebpl.org website.

In his program, Mickiewicz will discuss how our urbanized landscape is an interconnected ecosystem dependent on soil health, and he’ll answer audience questions.

Mickiewicz has worked with trees for over 35 years. He is a state-licensed Tree Expert, ISA Certified Arborist, and accredited organic landscape provider by the Northeastern Organic Farming Association. His training includes the Soil Foodweb method, composting and insect pest management. He holds a degree in biology from Colgate University. His company, Mickiewicz Arbor Experts has served N.J. for over 30 years.

The program is part of the Option Green lecture series presented by the Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission in partnership with the East Brunswick Public Library. For more information on FriendsEBEC or to sign up for event notices, visit friendsebec.com.
