TREE CARE & GARDEN MAINTENANCE INFORMATION DAY

Our Information Day on the 13^th March last to coincide with National Tree Week, 7^th – 13^th March was a huge success!

Dermot Casey’s team of tree care specialists were on hand to answer any tree care and garden questions. 

Our training providers were on hand to answer questions and to advise on their FÀS and Lantra / NPTC registered chainsaw courses.

The Kids Corner with free posters, colouring and balloons and a special Kids Talk proved to be a huge hit. 

All visitors on the day were entered into a free draw with fabulous prizes. 

Each visitor also took home with them a free sapling Hazel and Rowan trees. 

Refreshments were served while people browsed the information leaflets, books and flyers which gave valuable information on topics such as tree planting and choosing the right tree for your garden.

The weather also held off on the day, giving our training instructor, Bill Blyth the opportunity to show off his chainsaw carving skills, carving a sunflower and a mushroom among other things!

There was also gave a free Chainsaw Safety Talk which drew a great crowd. 

The morning was preceded by tree planting events and talks at the local primary schools on Friday.  

The event was such a success that it is hoped to hold a further Information Day during the summer.   Thanks to the National Tree Council for providing literature.
