PRESS RELEASE – The Williams Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) will be offering a series of workshops to help landowners enhance and manage their land. Who do you ask for help? Come, learn, and have your questions answered by people who actually have years of hands-on experience!
A workshop on Tree Planting & Maintenance will be held on March 12 from 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. Learn from the successes and mistakes of one of the most prolific tree planters in the county, Ed Nickolite.
He will share the lessons he has learned from planting hundreds of trees on his private land. He will discuss how to properly choose, plant, and care for tree seedlings as they grow into adult trees. In addition, Williams SWCD Technician Tam Stage will introduce i-Tree.
i-Tree is a free online program that can be used to plan where and which trees to plant, particularly to improve building energy efficiency and for water quality and watershed benefits.
The following programs are also included in this year’s series: Local Landowners Share Hands-On Experiences on April 16 and Beyond Bees & Butterflies on May 14.
The workshops will be held on Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. at the Williams SWCD office, 11246 State Route 15, Montpelier.
