Dave Farmer
Get word out on mountain pine beetle. Very bad at Red Feather Lakes. Astro is a natural
chemical that will work on beetles. Astro has no odor or color and can be effective over 12
months.
Dave will come and look at trees in the Estes Valley, but will charge a $26 fee per person.
Perhaps we want to have an "Annual Sick Tree Day." We would do it through the Tree
Board.
Tree Board Conference on a Saturday in October (30-50 people). Dave would like Estes
Park to host this conference. Share ideas - what kind of trees can we plant? Discuss the loss
of elms; discuss licensing of sprayers and pruners.
News releases in paper, series of articles.
Wendell Amos
- Wendell stated that the most beetle trees in the Estes Valley are at the YMCA and Windcliff.
He will put articles in the paper about trees and beetles.
Arbor Day
We will probably plant trees at the Intermediate School. We will invite Roy Mahaffey. Next
year - Wapiti Meadows? Along the trail? Maybe narrow leaf cottonwoods?
- Arbor Day is May 15t.
The next meeting will be April 7, 1998 at 8:30 a.m.
Alice Gray, Secretary
