Adopt a Heritage Elm at Saturday workshop
Portland Urban Forestry is holding a workshop Saturday tailored specifically to teach attendees how to monitor and care for the 300 Heritage Trees in Portland.
Certified arborists will teach the basics of tree health assessment and how to accurately measure height, canopy and circumference. The workshop will also give instructions on how to lead a ‘tree’ walk and how a neighborhood can ‘adopt’ a heritage elm.
Advanced registration is required for the workshop, which runs 9 a.m. to noon.
The majority of the workshop will be outdoors. The meeting place is the SMILE Station at 8213 SE 13th Ave.
Friends of Trees supplies five different species of elm trees, all resistant to Dutch Elm Disease.
