Mark your calendars! The long-awaited neighborhood tree walk is set for 9 a.m. Saturday, June 26.
Arborist Stacy Borden, the University of Kentucky’s grounds manager and president of the nonprofit Trees Lexington, will lead the walk.
Stacy can advise us on how to protect our old trees, expand the canopy and support pollinators; he’s an expert on everything from what and how to prune to the public-health benefits of urban trees.
If you want Stacy to see and advise on a certain site or tree/s, email me (jamiedlucke@gmail.com) and we can build the walk around your questions.
Even if you don’t have any tree-planting ambitions, join the walk. Stacy is knowledgeable and personable, and our neighborhood trees in full leaf are a force to behold.
Watch this space for where we will meet to begin the walk.
