SUMMARY:Planting Native Trees And Shrubs
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time of year…Spring is coming! As a landowner\, have you ever selected a variety of plant species\, gone through the laborious task of planting them\, watering\, weeding and other general maintenance to ensure their survival? However\, despite your best efforts\, your newly planted seedlings mostly die… So\, what exactly happened? It could be a number of contributing factors such as improper plant species selected for the growing region or it could be due to environmental pressures such as competition from other vegetative species or browse pressure from wildlife. On February 19th\, 2025\, at 7:00PM\, tune into the Land Stewardship Center’s live\, online workshop “Planting Native Trees and Shrubs\,” where our Program Director\, Tomas Sokolon\, is providing direction on how to pick the right species for your land and some common errors to avoid during the planting period.\n\n\nYou will be able to access this online workshop through the link provided to you upon registration. Please plan to enter 5-10 minutes before the workshop starts\, in case you encounter technical difficulties.\nSee link below.

SUMMARY:Pruning Woody Plants
DESCRIPTION:Pruning is the intentional removal of dead or overgrown stems and branches\, which increases a plant’s overall health and productivity. We want to ensure that landowners are equipped with the best skillsets for pruning\, since trees and shrubs are an essential part of agroforestry\, and their development can take several years to decades to establish. With the spring rapidly approaching\, your plants may be in need of a trim after their winter slumber. \nOn March 13\, 2025\, at 7:00pm\, join our Agroforestry Specialist\, Winston Gamache\, as he walks you through the best times of the year to prune\, the techniques used to ‘trim’ your plants and to answer any remaining questions you may have. Additional information will be provided on how AWES can use the 2 Billion Tree Program to help fund and implement planting projects on your land! \nAccess to the webinar will be provided upon the completion of your registration. Please plan to enter 5-10 minutes before the webinar starts\, in case you experience technical difficulties. \nThe webinar will consist of 60-90 minutes of instructional content\, followed by a question period with the event ending at 9:00pm. \nRegister here: Eventbrite
