Whether you just admire the trees in your yard and neighborhood
or it’s your job to keep them looking their best, “Fall Colors”
is a workshop made for you Nov. 7 in Atlanta.

The workshop on urban tree management will be at the North Fulton
Government Annex on Roswell Road. It’s offered in the morning and
afternoon, but for different audiences.

The first session, from 9 a.m. to noon, will be directed to
homeowners and Master Gardeners. The afternoon program, from 1:30
to 4:30, is tailored to professional landscapers, grounds crews
and tree service operators.

Both Feature Coder

Both programs will feature Kim Coder of the University of
Georgia’s Warnell School of
Forest Resources. Coder will address tree foliage
pigmentation — the whats, whys and hows of fall color.

An entomologist will be on hand, too, to provide the latest on
managing tree pests in urban areas.
