SATURDAY, September 9, 1-3 pm (outside at the UVM Hort Farm)
On Saturday, September 9, talk a walk in the company of trees. Join Ethan Tapper, Chittenden County Forester, for a walk among the trees at the UVM Horticulture Farm and a discussion on the role that trees play in our lives and in the health of our planet.
In addition to shade, beauty, wildlife habitat and climate mitigation, forests form natural communities of astonishing complexity and importance. Be prepared for a walk in any weather condition and bring your questions about forests!
