Join us for a walk through The Green at The University of Vermont for an informative walk and talk about some of Burlington’s common, and not so common trees. We will discuss field identification techniques to help you identify the trees in your neighborhood. As a new addition to this year's walk, we are also going to discuss some of the common health problems many of our urban trees face. For the entire life of the tree, from planting to pruning, we will discuss how trees want to grow and how you can help them. This is sure to be a great opportunity!

The Winooski Natural Resources Conservation District recognized Branch Out Burlington as the 2007 winner of the Urban Forestry Stewardship Award. Each year the Winooski NRCD seeks nominations from area forestry professionals for outstanding forestry stewards. In past years the award was focused on privately owned forestry operations. However, this year the Winooski NRCD wished to acknowledge it’s urban forestry counterparts for their superb forestry efforts. Congratulations to BOB!

"People who live in Burlington’s neighborhoods are often proud of the natural beauty -- especially the trees. Broad leafy trees, quietly celebrating the cycle of the seasons from bud to green to orange and crimson to dust, and returning to bud once again. And tall evergreen trees exist, stalwart and vibrant with life, even throughout the depths of winter’s snows. If community is the heart of a city, then trees must surely be its lungs."
