Webinar about native trees and shrubs offered July 10

Penn State Extension’s Master Watershed Steward program will hold its annual native tree and shrub sale in August with pickup this fall in locations across the state.

Funds will support watershed protection efforts by the Master Watershed Steward program.

To provide an overview of the 24 native tree and shrub species offered in the sale, Penn State Extension’s urban forestry and Master Watershed Steward programs will host a webinar, “Native Tree and Shrub Sale Species Overview and Q&A,” 6-7:30 p.m. July 10.

The webinar session will cover:

•The native tree/shrub species available in this year’s fundraiser.

•The benefits of adding native species to the landscape.

•Native tree and shrub species suitable for a wide range of landscape conditions.

•Which tree/shrub species support various wildlife species.

•How to purchase these locally through the annual native tree and shrub sale.

Participants can learn about recommended species for sunny and shady spots, dry to wet conditions, and everything in between.

Participants are encouraged to submit questions for the webinar in advance to help make the right tree and shrub selections for their property.

All species discussed will be available for purchase Aug. 1-27 — or while supplies last — through the annual fundraiser.
