October 3 - November 1, 2026

COMING SOON! Tree rescue events will take place all around the county during the four weekends of October (and a few on weekdays as well.) Come try your hand at clipping the invasive vines that are killing our trees while learning how to spot the native vines that should be spared. No experience necessary!
