Possible program to Rotary of Waconia #878548

Asked July 24, 2024, 10:54 AM EDT

Is there someone who might give us a program on arborist/gardening issues around Waconia. Evidently there's an Emerald ash borer problem, among perhaps other things. We meet on Wednesdays at 7:30 am . . thanks! . . Ed Van Eeckhout, Sec, Waconia West Carver Rotary

Expert Response

Thank you for your question. Since you are mainly dealing with an emerald ash borer education program, I have several suggestions for you. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has a Tree Inspector program which will provide education opportunities. Here is their website:

Minnesota tree inspector program | Minnesota DNR (state.mn.us)

Also, contact your city of Waconia. If they have a Parks Department, they may have a person who can attend your meeting and answer your questions. They also may have a certified arborist on staff that may help you. 

The University of MN Forestry Extension office offers education programs. Here is their website:
