NRCC Interviews:

 

The Board interviewed two students for NRCC.  Both students were well qualified and did well.  One student needed to work on getting reference letters submitted.  Gabrielle reported that the NRCC is essentially full and the students would need to get their student activity fees submitted.

 

Big Tree Program

 

The Board will be measuring trees on April 8 in the NW part of the County.

 

38 Trees need to be re-measured in Cecil.  18 trees have permission forms, 20 still need them.  The Board needs to work on this.  Ron has been successful in obtaining these in the NW section of the County.

 

Dori, Kathie and Gabrielle have offered to help measure trees in the next couple months.

 

May measuring dates are needed to measure trees in the Warwick area.  Please send them to John.

 

John gave his statewide report that he was going to give at the cancelled statewide mtg.

 

Website:

 

Ron couldn’t find the link to the NRCC video.  Gabrielle will try to find the location, if it is available.

 

He also updated some links to the oak disease subject.

 

St. Mary Anne’s Garden Show:

 

The Show will be on May 4 and 5 this year.  So far Kathie and Ron have volunteered to work the booth.  Some people will need to help out.

 

The Board will pack seedlings before the May meeting if this event will be attended.

 

New Business:

 

Michael reported on the storm damage and pest /disease mortality in the forest.  Lots of dangerous trees out there in the landscape.
