JENNINGS Carrie A <br /> From: JENNINGS Carrie A <br /> To: ANDERSEN Chris F <br /> Subject: Oregon State Extension Service <br /> Date: Monday, April 20, 1998 10:55AM <br /> FROM: Bob Hammitt <br /> You sent me an e-mail a couple of months ago regarding a conversation with Janet Calvert, of the Oregon State <br /> Extension Service, regarding handling of private property tree calls. Since then, Scott has had a couple of <br /> conversations with their Master Gardener, Russ, regarding their program. We were hoping they would be able to <br /> provide avenues to help us reduce our private tree related call load. <br /> The Extension Service is willing (but not excited) to take our call loads, but doesn't really want us to do anything to <br /> significantly increase their call load. Their master gardener feels that their area of expertise is somewhat different <br /> than most of our call load. The Extension Service specifically deals with infestations, bugs, etc. Their master <br /> gardener does not feel they have the tree specific expertise to address the type of questions we would usually <br /> refer to them, and when they receive this type of call they refer them to a private arborist. <br /> Scott feels like has pursued this avenue for decreasing our call load as far as he can take it. <br /> Page 1 <br />
