Guy wires and stakes left on trees past the tree's first growing season may also girdle the tree. Removing shelters too late may encourage rotting of the bark, insect infestations, or girdling of the tree.
Other shelters may not have this perforation these shelters should be removed once the trunk of the tree fills nearly all of the void space within the shelter. Some shelters have perforated laser lines that will split as the tree outgrows the shelter. Tree shelters are used to protect the seedlings from deer and mowers the shelters also create a greenhouse effect that helps the seedling to grow. Tree shelters, stakes, and guy wires left on too long can also undermine project success. The County Government has installed solar hot water on its Adult Detention Center, built a landfill gas-to-energy project through a public-private partnership at no cost to the County, purchased plug-in electric hybrid vehicles using a state grant, and is purchasing electric buses and charging stations using mostly grant funds. Among its many initiatives, FCC has implemented solar electric and electric vehicle charging stations. They shared the successes of their organizations and the impact on the larger community. County Executive Jan Gardner and FCC President Libby Burmaster keynoted the event. Participants learned about electric vehicles, solar energy, the future of the County's waste, the important role of streamside forest buffers, home energy efficiency, and other forward-thinking topics from subject matter experts.
I am really excited to share our Fall newsletter because so many good things are happening to make Frederick County more sustainable! In that vein, the Frederick County Sustainability Commission and Frederick Community College Institute for Learning in Retirement sponsored " Toward a More Sustainable Frederick County" on the 16th of October.
