Program & Registration for July 23rd Virtual ReLeaf Conference

From President
Karen Emmerich

Hi everyone,
We love seeing photos and stories roll in from spring 2021 Arbor Day celebrations, including those funded at least in part by Council Quick Start grants. Check out our blog for coverage of these joyful events.

DEC and the Region 9 ReLeaf Committee have done an excellent job pulling this year's virtual conference together. Our July 23rd virtual ReLeaf Conference program is set, and online registration is active. Check out the details here.

Keep cool and water those trees,
Karen
