🍃Happy First Day of Spring!🌸 What better way to celebrate than marking your calendar for a tree care workshop during Earth Week!🌳

This year's MBO Annual Tree Care Workshop's keynote is Planting for the Future: Diversity is Key presented by Chuck Porto.🌲🍂

🍁What's prettier than a maple lined parkway? Or stately elms overhanging a city boulevard? To some of us, it's a city street lined with native and adapted trees that bring a resilient mix of diverse species capable of withstanding the next Dutch elm disease or emerald ash borer infestation.🐛

📅Date: Saturday, April 26th
📍Location: Muscatine Environmental Learning Center
⏰Time: 9 to 11 am

We hope to see you there!🍃
