So sad to see this tree go in our yard.  It was beautiful.  Beetles are tiny, but they sure do a lot of damage.

Join us tomorrow (6/7/14) for the Nevada City tree walk. 

Zeno will be leading a guided tour around Nevada City discussing the many
beautiful trees that line the streets. 

Meet at 9:30am at the Rood Center (950
Maidu Ave, Nevada City) and be prepared for an hour walk.  Hope to see you
there!

Proud to annouce that Zeno now has his Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) from the International Society of Arboriculture.  
 
This qualification promotes the safety of people and property by providing a standardized and systematic process for assessing tree risk. The results of a tree risk assessment can provide tree owners and risk managers with the information to make informed decisions to enhance tree benefits, health, and longevity.  

Way to go Z!
