City Of Oxford — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 11:41:05 -0500

The City of Oxford, while located only 35 miles outside of Atlanta, is a close knit community that still has its wonderful town-like qualities. Founded in 1839 as the birthplace of Emory University, the City of Oxford has always revered its proud history. Now Oxford is home to Oxford College, a branch of Emory.

Tree-Care Education is Easy!

"Tree-care education is easy in Oxford! The Georgia Urban Forestry Council awarded the City of Oxford a grant this year. This project funds, among other events, tree-care education for all of Oxford’s citizens, the Oxford College community, and City and College maintenance staffs. All are enthusiastically invited to the education sessions for which we now have instructors and dates in 2009.
Saturday, February 21 from 10:00am to noon will be Oxford’s Arbor Day celebration in the George St. Park. Connie Head and Beryl Budd will conduct an open education session on tree benefits, urban forest planning, and planting, among the many Arbor Day festivities. Saturday, April 18 from 9:00 to noon in the Community Room (by the fire station) will be a second open education session on tree pruning and care. All local citizens and the general Oxford College community are invited to these open sessions. The second session is meant as a continuation of the first. Everyone is encouraged to attend these informative sessions and rare opportunities for furthering knowledge about tree benefits and tree care. We are lucky to have excellent instructors on a topic so vital to the health of our community, and we hope everyone will take advantage of these one-time, grant-funded opportunities. All are warmly invited to attend.
Connie Head and Beryl Budd will also conduct two education sessions exclusively for city and campus maintenance staffs on Friday, February 20 from 9am-noon and Friday, April 17 from 9am to noon."
