Arbor Day: Local forester to present school program

In recognition of Arbor Day, Friday, April 27, area arborist and forester Paul Ritz, will present programs on tree care to Town of Webb School elementary students.

Ritz, owner of Old Forge Tree Company, will talk with first grade students in their classroom in the morning.

From 12:30 to 1:15 p.m., he will meet fourth graders at the white pine tree in front of the school to present a hands-on demonstration of the equipment and techniques used in the care and maintenance of trees.

The students will have an opportunity to learn, through participation, proper tree climbing form and other physical aspects of tree care. The public is invited to come and observe the demonstration.
