Staff announces May 12 training to launch town tree inventory and volunteer program
Summary
Staff said the committee accepted a climate grant to fund a town tree inventory and invited volunteers to a May 12 training to learn inventory software and take part in volunteer walks and events.
Staff reported the committee previously accepted a climate grant to fund a townwide tree inventory and asked for volunteer help. "There's a training intro event on May 12 in here at 05:30, and I'll basically just be training them how to use the software," the staff member said, inviting volunteers and noting organizers will supply t-shirts.
Committee members discussed outreach and recording the session for wider access. Christina said she would like the training recorded and posted so the public can view it, and staff agreed to prepare materials and a volunteer sign-up process. The staff member described follow-up volunteer gatherings and said volunteers could also walk independently or in pairs while using the inventory app.
The update also noted the inventory work is part of a climate grant intended to catalog town trees and inform future planting and maintenance decisions. The staff member encouraged committee members to recruit volunteers and to share the announced training date with community groups.
