Arbor Day at Strybing Arboretum

A couple of weeks ago, we were on hand to cover a special presentation for a group of elementary schoolchildren.

These kids got to see what an arborist actually do — the real fun was when they got to see arborist Jesse scale what must have been a 100 foot tall conifer.

At the top, he demonstrated how arborists trim off dead limbs and branches that might otherwise fall off on unsuspecting people.

After the mucho impressive spectacle the kids split up into groups for some fun activities, including helping to plant a tree, and coming up with creative hats!
