David Salter, Tree Division Manager of Hamilton Tree in Falmouth, will speak on Tree Pruning: Health, Aesthetics and Safety, on Thursday, July 8, beginning at 10 am at Highfield Hall, 56 Highfield Drive in Falmouth. From an informed background, with degrees in agriculture and urban forestry, and with certification as a Massachusetts and International Society of Arboriculture arborist, David is ready to help homeowners care for trees on their properties. David will share the art of tree pruning so you don’t mistakenly damage or even kill a tree. He’ll review the importance of removing deadwood, decreasing the weight in trees, increasing light to an area, enhancing a view, clearing brush away for fire safety, and shaping and reshaping trees. He will also discuss the proper tools for different pruning challenges and demonstrate proper pruning techniques. $5 suggested donation. For more information, log on to www.highfieldhall.org.
