ROSE, JAMES F. American Association of Amatuer Arborists, 5455 Wingborne Court, Columbia, MD 21045. - Arbortags: teaching about trees.
The American Association of Amateur Arborists is a loose association
of individuals and groups who are interested in learning more about
trees and other woody plants. The more we learn the more it becomes
apparent that we have inherited a remarkable variety of trees, that
our own neighborhoods are like arboreta and are fertile ground for
learning more about trees. As we learn more we find we can help others
recognize the variety of species around them and become more aware of
their environment. ArborTags are inexpensive labels for tree
identification. On one side appear the Latin and common names of the
tree, while on the other appear various descriptions to aid
identification: the leaf; the flower, fruit or nut; the bark and
structure; and other cultural or anecdotal information about the tree
or its species. The ArborTags are freely provided for anyone's use.
