Tree board plans classes and public events to boost community involvement
Summary
The board discussed offering recreation classes (pruning, design with trees) in the January–March catalog, reaching audiences with field exercises and using community events like Salmon Tours to promote tree and pollinator initiatives.
The board reviewed plans for public education and recreational classes to support outreach and volunteer recruitment. Members said classes such as "ABCs of pruning" and fruit-tree pruning have been popular in the past; the rec catalog deadlines (late October) mean the group needs to finalize course proposals soon.
Members discussed class formats that combine classroom time (up to ~20 participants) with field exercises and suggested pairing educational offerings with public events and roadshows to civic groups (Rotary, Sons of Norway) to increase visibility and recruit volunteers. Chair asked members to prepare a short list of potential classes and instructors and to route materials into the rec catalog before the October deadline.
