Jack Jacob of Wise Oak tree service addressed a recent meeting of the Ludlow Rotary Club
Jack Jacob is an arborist and lawn maintenance expert from South Londonderry who spoke to the Rotary Club about the loss of many tree species, such as Ash, American Chestnut and Elm Trees. There is also a Beech bark disease attacking local Beech trees.
A major issue facing the Northeast is the Emerald ash borer, a native of SE Asia, where there are natural controls, attacking ash trees. The first population was found in Michigan in 2002. The damage is concentrated in New England and the Midwest because of its weather conditions and large population of ash trees. The disease does not discriminate between young versus old or sick versus healthy trees.
Moving firewood is a huge problem in terms of spreading diseases. Monocultures are also a problem. Ash tree removal is the best option for larger stands because chemical treatment is too expensive for broad application at $400 to $500 per tree. Trees must be removed before they are dead to protect any arborist who must climb the tree to remove it. Rotarians had many questions for Jacob as he ended his talk.
The LRC meets Tuesdays for lunch in Ludlow. The LRC is small and is always looking to welcome new members. If you would like to attend a meeting and learn how you may 'Serve Humanity' while enjoying the fun and fellowship of others, please contact any Rotarian or drop a note to Ludlow Rotary, PO Box 216, Ludlow, Vermont. |

Hi Folks, Another month and it is time to put together another Chit Chat. I hope you will be enjoying this coming weekend with a nice taste of the Summer that is to come our way. Sure is nice to see the splashes of green and even the yellow of the dandelions with touches of white/blue of the May flowers all over the lawn. The deadline is Friday May 22nd by 6:00 pm, it is the Memorial Day weekend so the paper will go to print on Tuesday May 26th and be in the mail on May 27th. Please have all articles, announcements, advertisements and any other item you wish to share with our community to me by the 22nd. I look forward to hearing from you. Happy Memorial Day, Diana Garrow 802-259-2314 chitchat@vermontel.net www.mounthollyvt.org

It's Friday — and the sun is coming Hello there! We've had some much-needed rain and chilly weather here at the farm this week, but the forecast is turning. Starting tomorrow, warmer temps and sunny skies are on the way — a great excuse to get outside and come see us. What's happening on the farm Our second batch of meat birds arrived this week and is settling in nicely. The laying hens are out and about scratching for bugs and fresh grass, and eggs are plentiful — stop by and grab a dozen or two! The pastures are growing fast, and the cattle will be heading out of the big red barn very soon. Skip the garden center markup and stop paying $10.00/bale — we've got mulch hay bales are available right here at the farm for $5.00/bale. Great for all your landscaping and gardening needs this season. At the farm stand this weekend Freshly baked bread and homemade goodies will be on hand Saturday — these sell out fast, so shop early if you want to score some! Our Wilcox ice cream selection is full. Many flavors to choose from — grab a pint (or two) for the weekend. Wonder what's for dinner? Our top sellers this week have been ground beef (think burgers, chili, or meatloaf), hot Italian sausage (pasta night or pizza topping), and london broil (marinade and grill). Something for everyone. You'll also find the fridge stocked with yogurt, apple cider, butter, cheese, salad greens, and spinach. So much deliciousness all in one spot! We're open Saturday and Sunday, 12:00–5:00 and can't wait to see you. Stop in and say hi! 1966 Healdville Road, Mount Holly, VT
