Fruit tree pruning

Doña Ana County Extension Service Agronomy and Horticulture Agent Jeff Anderson and more than a dozen master gardeners and master gardener interns participated in a workshop on Saturday, Feb. 20, on fruit tree pruning hosted by Joan and Warren Woodward at their home north of Las Cruces. The workshop was presented by Les Finley, a certified arborist who provides consulting, assessment and preservation work. At left, Finley points out an important detail at the base of a tree. He recently retired from the City of Las Cruces, where he directed the Tree Stew- ards program (visit http://www. las-cruces.org/en/departments/ parks-and-recreation/parks/community-wellness/tree-stewards).

La Mancha Restoration project seeks volunteers

Want to get your hands dirty and plant some trees?

This is a great opportunity to get out, meet people, and do something tangible to benefit wildlife, said Kallie Renard, field organizer and membership coordinator. Volunteers are needed for the following: Plant native trees and wetland plants; remove salt cedar and other in- vasive plants; install bat houses; install piezometers (simple groundwater moni- PHOTO BY SUSIE OUDERKIRK toring wells); install vehicle barriers; lay out trails.
