Learn the When, Where and How of Proper Tree Planting

Fall is the perfect time to plant trees, and Saturday, Nov.14, is a great day to learn how at a hands-on Vancouver Urban Forestry TreeTalk Workshop.

This free workshop will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at Brickyard Park, 3120 Lincoln Ave. You will have an opportunity to ensure new trees planted now are thriving for generations to come.

“One of the most common mistakes we see is trees planted too deep,” explains Charles Ray, Urban Forester for the City of Vancouver, on why trees die prematurely. “This deprives the tree roots of oxygen,” continues Ray, “and causes rot around the trunk of the tree.”
