Tips for

tree care

Trees can add thousands of dollars to the value of a home, bring songbirds to the neighborhood and cut energy costs up to 25 percent.

A free booklet from The National Arbor Day Foundation, “Conservation Trees,” will show you how, according to John Rosenow, the foundation’s executive director.

“Conservation Trees” is a colorfully illustrated, easy-to-use guide. It will show you how to cut fuel bills by properly locating shade trees so that they provide cooling summer shade without blocking the warm winter sun.

You’ll learn how to create a natural habitat to attract songbirds to your backyard — how to provide cover, create needed habitat variety, and grow trees for food . . . even tips on maintaining a year-round water supply, Mr. Rosennow added.

The design of the booklet makes it easy to browse through to pick up tips. You’ll discover how to protect trees during construction projects . . . correct tree-planting steps the importance of shading your airconditioner . . . how to prune shade trees . . . and where to get local tree-care assistance.

The booklet even includes advice on managing tree plantations for Christmas trees, black walnuts, fuel wood or timber, and how shelterbelts can save topsoil and help farm profits.
