Through various techniques, trees can be greatly revitalized in a manner that also supports the ecosystem and landscape around them. Led by Little Traverse Conservancy’s Recreation, Access, and Maintenance Manager Nate Dionne, whose family has run an apple orchard business for many years, this workshop will feature demonstrations of pruning old and abandoned apple trees to increase their vigor, productivity, and appearance. Participants will then have the chance to put these principles and objectives to use on the trees found at the Elizabeth B. Hoffmann Nature Preserve, south of Charlevoix. Please bring your own loppers/pole saws. Limited quantities of tools, including pruners and pole saws, will be available for use during the hands-on portion of the workshop.
