Glenn AhrensÂ
HOOD RIVER — Curious how to promote the health of your trees and prolong their life span? Come learn from OSU Extension Forester Glenn Ahrens at the Central Gorge Master Gardener's Community Class, "Managing to Keep Trees Healthy," on Saturday, March 7, 9 a.m. at the Hood River Valley Christian Church.
As Ahrens says, "Tree health is not just about pests or disease; it's often the result of multiple, interacting factors like drought, site conditions, and age."
In this class, Ahrens will share how to assess and manage tree and forest health, especially in the face of changing environmental conditions. He'll explore the complex and interrelated causes of tree problems, from environmental stressors like climate and soil conditions to interactions with insects and disease. Attendees will learn how to spot potential problems and take proactive steps to support healthy landscapes.
Ahrens, Forestry & Natural Resources agent with the Oregon State University Extension Service in Oregon City, brings decades of experience diagnosing trees and guiding landowners through sustainable forest management practices.
There is a suggested $10 donation, all of which will be given to FISH Food Bank. Central Gorge Master Gardeners will match up to $1,000.
CGMGA is a non-profit educational organization that promotes the OSU Extension Master Gardener Program and provides opportunities for additional educational training throughout the year.
