Save Georgia’s Hemlocks will present a Hemlock Help Clinic at 10 a.m. Saturday for information about the pest that’s killing hemlocks, how to recognize it, what property owners can do to save their trees and why it’s so important to do so.
The event is at Clarkesville Baptist Church, 1287 Washington St.
Then, individuals wanting complete how-to instruction and volunteer training are invited to stay for the Facilitator Training Workshop from 11:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the church. This class will provide in-depth information about the trees, the bugs, assessing infestations, control methods, cost and safety, helping property owners, working on public lands and more.
Both classes are free, but registration is required. For details and registration, call 706-212-2833 or email bobpledger@windstream.net.
