Tonight on Smile Politely Radio, we’re joined by Sharon Lilly from the International Society of Arboriculture. ISA is a professional organization promoting urban tree care worldwide, which is headquartered in Champaign. We will discuss what exactly an arborist does, general tree care information, and why exactly ISA is located in the middle of Central Illinois. Sharon is ISA’s Director of Educational Goods and Services and a Board Certified Master Arborist.
As part of its Earth Day/Arbor Day celebration, the organization is hosting a family-friendly TreesAreGood educational tree walk in West Side Park on Saturday (April 21) at noon, which will be followed by two short educational films at the Art Theatre.
Smile Politely Radio airs each Friday night at 5:30 PM on 90.1 FM or WEFT.org, and is available for download as a podcast the Tuesday following each week’s show.
