Joshua Nadler "MITIGATING TREE HAZARDS FROM SNOWMAGEDDON".

The Beltsville Garden Club will meet on Wednesday, May 26th, 2010 at 7:30 pm in the cafeteria of the James E. Duckworth School, 11201 Evans Trail, Beltsville, Maryland. The guest speaker for this month will be Joshua Nadler and his topic will be "MITIGATING TREE HAZARDS FROM SNOWMAGEDDON". During the winter of 2010 the DC Metro area had the snowiest year on record. The unusual amount of snow caused unforeseen tree care complications that are not usually experienced on an annual basis. He will discuss the strategies regarding tree "clean up" that were used by the University of Maryland at College Park. He will also discuss arboricultural topics of which homeowners should be aware; including how to prepare for record snow accumulations and tree species that are particularly acceptable to heavy snow loads.

Mr. Nadler enjoys promoting and discussing trees and shrubs for the ornamental landscape with emphasis on the newer selections. He became a certified arborist in 2004. The Kindred Spirit Hybrid Oak is a tree on which he holds a patent and registered trademark.

Please join us for this informative speaker. We will have plants for the door prize table and refreshments after the meeting. The public is welcomed and admission is free.
