SUMMARY:Landscaping with PNW Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Presented by\nHannah Schrager\, Owner of Good Year Farms\nwww.goodyearfarms.com \nLandscaping with PNW Native Plants is an introductory course for those who seek to marry aesthetics and ecology. In this class we will discuss how to choose the right plant for the right place. We will learn how to examine ecological clues to determine what will grow best in your yard. The class will also cover how to create structure with native plants to produce a look and vibe you like. \nUsing native plants in your landscape creates improved habitat opportunities for wildlife and can lead to lower maintenance needs over time. This class will leave you with a better understanding of how to select native species for your space\, how to source them\, and the ecology of “backyard habitat” maintenance. Whether you are already at work propagating native plants in your space or new to the idea\, this class will offer you valuable information about what to consider in your yard and its role in our regional landscape. \nLandscaping with PNW Native Plants Flyer

DESCRIPTION:December 17\, 2021 4:00 p.m.\nPresented by\nDave Kollen\, Xerces Society Ambassador \nHow can we play a role in pollinator conservation\, both in general and in our own landscapes and communities? Much has been said about pollinators and their importance in natural systems and our food system but the importance can’t be stressed enough. Let’s talk about the natural history\, threats\, conservation and especially what we can do in our own landscapes to create a more pollinator-friendly space. We’ll focus more particularly on native bees since they are by far the most important pollinator for angiosperms\, thus our food supply. By focusing on this we not only serve pollinators\, but native insects in general. Also\, for those interested in going above and beyond\, opportunities to get involved in community science activities are covered. \nThis month\, we are back partnering with The Camas Library as hosts for this online class using Zoom. \nBring Back the Pollinators Flyer

SUMMARY:Pruning with a Pro
DESCRIPTION:Presented by\nAaron Krieger\, Owner of AK Timber Services LLC.\nAaron is an ISA Certified Arborist as well as TRAQ qualified and he will be going over the types of pruning and why they are needed. \n\nDead wooding – Pruning to remove dead\, dying\, and decaying branches only\nThinning – This type of pruning is used to thin out the trees canopy. Thinning allows air and wind to pass through the tree\, reducing the risk of falling or branches breaking in storms. It also allows sunlight to reach the plants and grass below and air to flow freely between the branches.\nRaise canopy – Trimming a tree in this way removes the bottom branches to raise the trees canopy. This would be done to remove an obstruction raise a tree above a walkway or driveway or to allow sunlight to reach grass and plants below the tree.\nCanopy cleaning – A climber removes all dead\, dying\, or decaying wood\, removes all sucker and sprout growth in the canopy\, and removes branches to maintain the trees natural form or direct growth.\nFruit tree pruning – best times (seasons) to prune\, how to prune to secure fruit production\n\nWe are partnering again with the Camas Library as hosts for this online class using Zoom.
