Why Wood? Sustainable Uses for City Trees Workshop
Your community cares about trees. Your residents love the leafy canopy over their city streets. You work hard to care for and maintain a healthy forest.
But what happens when trees need to be removed? Do you cringe when you have to chip up valued trees? Do you wish there were other options?
Communities across the country are finding ways for dead and dying trees to live on as new sources for green building materials, sustainable energy, and more. Join us to learn how to find more value in the wood from your city's removed trees.
When: Friday, December 2, 2011; 8:30am - 4:00pm
Where: Sloan Longway Museum - Flint Cultural Center, 1221 E. Kearsley Street, Flint
Cost: $20 professional/$10 student - lunch included with registration
