TREE CARE & MAINTENANCE with Phil Bennett

We enjoyed Phil's last presentation so much that we simply had to bring him back! And this time he’s diving even deeper into the wonderful (and occasionally wild) world of tree care. He’ll walk us through what our trees really need during spring and summer, share the do’s and don’ts of pruning, and help us avoid those well‑intentioned mistakes that make our trees sigh dramatically. Expect practical tips, a few “aha!” moments, and plenty of good humor as we learn how to keep our leafy giants happy and thriving.

May 12th 6:30 - 8:30

Encompass Snoqualmie

Many thanks to all who attended our Spring Fundraiser!
