Carpinterian Dale Olivas, an arborist and tree expert who is on the city of Carpinteria’s Tree Advisory Board, will discuss urban forestry and defensible space at the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History on Tuesday, June 3.
Olivas will visit as part of the museum’s Talk & Talkback Speaker series. He will focus on safety, maintenance, pruning, native and non-native trees, and more. Museum Director Jayme Yahr called him a “fount of tree knowledge.”
“We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to learn from and talk with Dale about trees in their home environments,” she added.
Tickets are free for members of the museum, and $10 for nonmembers. The talk will begin at 5 p.m. and close at 6 p.m. The museum is located at 956 Maple Ave. For more information, call (805) 684-3112, email info@carpinteriahistoricalmuseum.org, or visit carpinteriahistoricalmuseum.org.
