(HENDERSONVILLE, NC, December 20,2023) -- While the trees in our neighborhoods and on private property providebenefits and beauty to humans and wildlife, the care and maintenance of thosetrees falls on the property owner. Manyquestions and concerns about how best to care for trees and shrubs will beanswered on Monday, February 26, at Henderson County Library auditorium onWashington St. at a program starting at 5 p.m. Steve Pettis, well-known local expert willshare knowledge and experience on the subject using visual and descriptivemethods.

“I callit my ‘Tree Health Care’ class,” Pettis said. “Inthe class I help homeowners understand some of the common problems and threatsto healthy trees and teach techniques to help improve tree health. Protectingthe overall tree canopy of Henderson County is an important part of my work.”
Onbehalf of Hendersonville’s Tree Board, City staff this year submitted a grantproposal to fund a tree canopy survey. The grant was received and the treecanopy survey is now underway. The Tree Board’s request was in response to theloss of trees during an up-tick in urban development in and aroundHendersonville in recent months.
“Thehousing boom we’re experiencing in Hendersonville is not unique,” said TreeBoard chair Mac Brackett. “But clearingland for new houses impacts the overall tree canopy cover. Learn how new trees, properly planted andmaintained, can restore our canopy, and how to deal with the health issues ofolder, mature trees in our historic neighborhoods. This program is set up to help us all carefor and sustain a healthy tree canopy in Hendersonville.”
Attendeeswill also learn how to apply to get free trees on private properties throughthe NeighborWoods program, and hear detailsabout the new Bradford Pear Bounty program, in which a new native tree will begiven to replace a Bradford Pear tree cut down on your property.
