Still trying to get the word out — to stop burying tree root flares! Let’s keep our trees healthy & happy. (save $$$, too)

[DonutsNotVolcanoes @LongLiveTrees]

@FAOForestry but, only if they’re healthy— planted and maintained the correct way.

[DonutsNotVolcanoes @LongLiveTrees]

… only if they’re healthy. Here, in @DuPageCounty we lose 1000s of trees yearly because crews don’t follow (or know?) IL standards. Gets worse every year.

[Arbor Day Foundation @arborday]

Urban trees...
🌳 improve personal health
🏙 reduce air pollution
💧 conserve and filter water
💸 save energy
☀ cool our streets and sidewalks
📈 increase economic stability
🐦 foster biodiversity

[DonutsNotVolcanoes @LongLiveTrees]

Hoping this includes warning homeowners about buried root flare, volcano mulching, and girdling roots.

While it is impossible to prevent all storm-related damage to trees, an ISA Certified Arborist® can help identify potential areas of concern and help prepare your trees for inclement weather https://t.co/KadYPgg93i

Hoping you’ll be talking about proper planting and maintenance. In @DuPageCounty crews haven’t a clue about root flare… We lose thousands of trees every year - just in our village. (pic from our ‘Tree City’; we also get accreditation by Society of Municipal Arborists)

[SadDrone @ArborDrone]

We're on our way to the Puget Sound, and I'm excited to share my latest on technology and Arboriculture with everyone at the @pnwisa PNW-ISA  annual training conference.

Thank you to staff and volunteers for making everything so easy on my end.

Attention: Chicago is poised to expedite the removal of healthy trees with O2023-0004235. It threatens the Urban Forestry Advisory Board, increases tree equity issues, and harms the urban canopy. Help protect our trees—contact your local alderperson NOW: https://t.co/DXEtFEK4vw

On Thursdays, we try something new 👏
This week, we're all about Sola bread from The Sola Company! It's a low-carb alternative that still tastes sweet and buttery – trust us, we've tried it. 🍞

@seanjamesdesign @DownersGroveVlg thank you! great idea — pretty sure they hate hearing that Canada’s doing things so much better than us.

[DonutsNotVolcanoes @LongLiveTrees]

… but, if they’re dying from the top (these local evergreens were all buried in deep/hardened mulch ‘volcanoes’)

[Sean James @seanjamesdesign]

(1 of 2) Hey folks! It’s that time of year. 😊 People are starting to ask me about dying evergreens. Generally, if they’re dying from the inside out, (the tips are still green), it’s just the old needles dying off. Nothing to worry about.

[DonutsNotVolcanoes @LongLiveTrees]

Whelp. Worse than ever. Your @Bolingbrook_IL store now greets customers with THREE DEAD TREES. And plenty more in the lot… at least, they pulled the dead ones at Janes.

IKEA could’ve had huge, healthy honey locusts shading customers’ cars by now…

[DonutsNotVolcanoes @LongLiveTrees]

@seanjamesdesign you’re so kind to reply! sadly, it falls on deaf ears here. Talked at length with @DownersGroveVlg forester, crews, village council, past mayors… no one cares. Spring thru Fall, I can hear a tree being ground up every day.

[Jad Daley @JadDaley]

Great night in Bozeman with the diverse partners working to #SaveTheWhiteBarkPine!
@YellowstoneNPS is leading the way, making 🇺🇸’s most famous park a catalyst for full recovery of the 🌲 that defines our western ⛰️.
@AmericanForests gave Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly our Forest Resilience Champion Award in honor of pathfinding leadership to save this newly listed & ecologically vital tree species. It is just the third time this selective recognition has been given by our organization.

… and don’t forget to look down — to make sure your tree’s root flare is exposed.

[Judy Stevens @JudeStevens]

Always look up 😊🌿#trees #Treepeople

[DonutsNotVolcanoes @LongLiveTrees]

@chicagotribune @wttw @WGN @ABC7Chicago @nbcchicago the ‘burbs are losing TONS of trees — and it’s 100% preventable. Wasting $$$, water, materials, labor, and TIME… on trees that‘ll never mature to help our air, handle stormwater, or simply make IL a nicer place to live.

[DonutsNotVolcanoes @LongLiveTrees]

@DownersGroveVlg @DownersGrvPatch @DowntownDG Why does DG continue to pay for incorrect planting + maintenance of street trees? Crews aren’t following @DownersGroveVlg standards — they’re just copying lazy landscapers. Wasting valuable $$$, materials, water, labor, and TIME…

[DonutsNotVolcanoes @LongLiveTrees]

@PlanItGeo2012 This is how @DownersGroveVlg - and nearly all @DuPageCounty - plants trees. Installed w/o locating root flare, buried under deep mulch… they fail in a few years & are replaced in the same (terrifically wrong) way. Can @PlanItGeo2012 save us from ourselves?

[DonutsNotVolcanoes @LongLiveTrees]

@brittyknows just saw an example of pest ‘invitation’ on my lunch walk. this tree had been - per usual around here - planted too deep, burying the root flare.

In an effort to reduce the friction between complementary modes of transport, Dutch railway operator NS is rolling out a "smart lock" in Zwolle.

400 rental bikes can be accessed—with no subscription fee—by tapping the same card used to access buses, trams, and trains nationwide.
