This is DEEP DIVE: WFHB AND LIMESTONE POST INVESTIGATE where we look into issues regarding Health, Housing, and the Environment that directly impact residents of Monroe County. We are looking into trees in Monroe County. What trees we have, what benefits they provide, and which trees to root for and which to root out!

 

When you walk outside and go wherever you are going to, do you notice the trees along your journey? Trees are something that we all can take for granted. But once you start noticing them, you learn to appreciate just how much they do for us.

If you are listening and you have any questions about trees you would like answered, or maybe you have a few trees in your life that you want to share with others in the community, you can email us at [email protected] or you can leave us a voice mail at 802.552.3483.

This voice mailbox is new for us, and we are pretty excited about it. If you leave us a message about a tree, we would love to share it on a future episode of Deep Dive.

Tune in next week to dive deeper and learn more about our local trees.
