Dear ENCORE members,

Once again, we see the need for changing the dates of the Dendrology class. Contrary to all previous announcements, we are moving up the classes.

The new dates are:

Session one will be held on Thursday, September 16;
Session two will be held on Thursday, September 23.
All other details will stay the same.

Why the change? Starting with the extremely high temperatures of June and the almost total absence of rain since May, some species of trees have begun dropping leaves prematurely.

Leaves are perhaps the most important criteria for tree identification. I can’t easily teach my class without the visual aid of tree leaves. Thus I, with Reta’s concurrence, have decided to move the class up by a few weeks.

Please inform me by email uniqhorn@charter.net or telephone
503-468-0752 whether you can and will attend.

Erhard
