Congratulations to the new
Citizen Foresters who attended our free Trees 101 class on Saturday! 25 participants from the District and Maryland came out to
our headquarters on Saturday morning for the introductory class. Attendees enjoyed a light breakfast while they learned about Casey Trees, the urban forest, tree anatomy, tree functions, and basic tree identification.
During the last hour of Trees 101, instructors Priscilla Bocskor, Shawn Walker and Katie Heffernan led the class on a tree walk around the area. Participants enjoyed the beautiful weather and practiced their tree identification skills during the walk. A contest was held at the end of the morning for attendees to guess the diameter of a large basswood (
Tilia americana) in the neighborhood. Winners received free Casey Trees t-shirts.
