Today is our first time to display A-frame signs at the Fresh Farm farmer’s market in Silver Spring. This is the brain child of new board member Rachel Teter, pictured. The sign advertises our Home Tree Care 101 classes and has a QR code to scan if you’re interested in a class in your neighborhood. Well done Rachel!

Research cited by Singapore's urban planners suggests shading roads with trees can reduce street-level temperatures by up to 2.6 degrees Celsius — separately, models suggest tree shade on buildings can meaningfully lower air-conditioning demand nearby

As cities bake under rising temperatures, Singapore is betting that strategically planted trees could slice millions from cooling costs while making streets habitable again.

Our final Home Tree Care 101 class today -- for the spring season --was a rousing success. We had homeowners from five communities on the walkabout. It was organized by the Parkwood Citizens Association and the Kensington Estates Civic Association. Many thanks to Anne Gagne and Bailey Condry for nominating their communities for this free class.
