Park Inventory: Hillcrest Recreation Center
June 25, 2016 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
You can help create a record of trees in D.C. parks! Come join Casey Trees and DDOT’s Urban Forestry Administration in a collaborative effort to survey trees in community spaces, such as the Hillcrest Recreation Center.
Participants will receive a short, hands-on training in the park. After learning the tools and techniques participants will split up into groups and begin measuring trees. We will be documenting tree species, height, diameter of the trunk, width of the crown and more.
Who Should Attend?
Open to the general public, you do not need any prior experience to join us. Although, if you’ve participated in our Trees 101 or Trees 201 class, this will be a great way to put your knowledge into action!
Come Prepared
We will plan to conduct the inventory rain or shine so please wear appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes for walking short distances. Participants are welcome to bring water and a snack.
Meals
Light lunch will be provided.
