This coming Thursday, head on over to the Shepard Garden and Arts Center parking lot to meet up with a certified arborist and learn more about the trees in McKinley Park. The tour runs from 6:30 to 8pm. The technologically savvy are encouraged to bring their tablets or smart phones to learn about electronic tree mapping, using the GreenprintMaps app (a very cool app for looking up trees in McKinley Park and all over the city).
I did a Tree Tour last year and loved it. Very informative and while I only remember a small percentage of the great information that was shared that day, it still surprises me on how often I can pull up good tidbits about our local tress.
