While some tree diseases have few practical solutions, others can be addressed if caught early enough.

Present: Dr. Ellen Crocker, Assistant Professor for Forest Health at the University of Kentucky Forestry and Natural Resources Extension.

Trees! They are with us four seasons of the year. Many of Kentucky’s nearly 120 important species can be found in our local landscapes as natural stands, as well as street and yard trees. Each has a name; each has its own characteristics that make them the individuals they are. This discussion will be led by Doug McClaren, retired Forester from UK Forestry Extension, and will provide insight into how to identify some of Kentucky’s common native trees. This program is intended for Seniors, aged 60 and old, but they do not have to be current members of the Lexington Senior Center.
