“The hurricane had a tremendous impact, and the amount of canopy in the trees lost was amazing,” said Donna Yowell, executive director of the Urban Forest Council. “What’s important is for people to be able to recognize a hazard tree.

Kenny Muse, who has owned Groundskeepers landscaping company for about seven years, said residents are just now starting to think about replanting after the hurricane. During the class, residents can learn what types of trees will be best for the conditions where they will be planted, Page said.
