For this exercise we will examine 100+ year shade trees, evaluating their structure and health and for determining what measures can be taken to extend their longevity well into the future.
A park stroll looks at tree structure and its relationship to health, maintenance, and performance.
Driving and parking: Proceed along Ives Road past horse stable entrance, look for RITree sign by stone pillars. Enter the driveway and look to the right side for parking area.
