Parker and Reed, two University of Minnesota students, are working this summer with RainbowTree Care. When I met them this last Thursday morning while walking Wild Wendy, these tree doctors were working valiantly to save this boulevard tree from Dutch Elm disease. They clean the bark and clear away the turf around the surface roots, drill some holes and then infuse them with chemicals that are supposed to keep the tree from succumbing to the disease. Both of these friendly and personable young men are from Buffalo, Minnesota; Parker attends the University in Duluth and Reed goes to the U. in the Twin Cities. Their personalities and work ethic are going to make them successful in their careers. I still miss teaching young people this age!“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”

DeleteTwo very good looking young men! I wish them much success. I also hope their efforts with the tree pay off.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see young people appreciating the importance of trees, lovely post Kate 😃
ReplyDeleteFine-looking people. They're doing a good work for sure. That disease is responsible for so many dead trees!
ReplyDeleteGood for Parker and Reed. They are doing a great job. Also like your portraits.
ReplyDeleteThe Wise Acres restaurant is within range for you. I recommend you give it a try.
An important job they are doing.
ReplyDeleteHope they will have time and money for a bit of holiday over the summer.
Hopefully it helps- one sees so few elm trees.
ReplyDeleteFine young men who know the importance of healthy trees! They look like they really enjoy their work.
ReplyDeleteI hope this "medicine" works. It looks like the tree definitely needs some doctoring.
ReplyDeleteNice guys to treat the tree, I have never heard of the "Dutch Elm disease" before. We just know it as Elm disease.
ReplyDeleteGoede jongens! I hope the ilness can stop. It can killing all branches.
