Topics of discussion will include:  The Management of Trees  Specifications: What Are They?  Translating “Landscaper Speak”  Fixing poorly planted trees (new this year!)  Proper planting, staking, mulching and pruning The primary focus of the summit is to inform and educate the Town’s Home Owners Associations (HOAs) about and assist them with the care and management of trees on HOA- held land. According to Jay Banks, the Town’s Urban Forester, HOAs are among the largest landowners in Leesburg and, therefore, have the greatest opportunity to contribute to the Town’s Tree Canopy through proper planting and maintenance of trees in their open spaces. The event is free and open to the general public. To RSVP for the Tree Care Summit, please email Jay Banks at jbanks@leesburgva.gov.
