Although many trees this time of year are still bare, Rod “The Tree Hunter” Haulenbeek insists they have many secrets to share in their bark, roots and buds.
Haulenbeek hosts a tree tour from 10 to 11:30 a.m. March 14 around the Wilbur D. May Arboretum & Botanical Garden at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park, 1595 N. Sierra St. The arboretum consists of 13 acres of specialty gardens, outdoor courtyards, tree groves and wetland habitats.
Haulenbeek is a master gardener, certified arborist, member of the Reno Urban Forestry Commission and a volunteer with the city of Reno’s greenhouse.
Admission and parking are free, but those planning to attend “The Naked Truth About Trees” are asked to pre-register by calling 775-785-4153 or to email [email protected].
