The site is 2.5 miles south of Interstate 70 on Highway 13, then east on Borland Road 1.5 miles. Visitors will be shown 16 acres of black walnut plantations that were planted on the contour. Emphasis of the tour will be on pruning to correct deer damage and on mulches for tree plantings.
Registration begins at 9 a.m. For those who register before July 1, a meal will be available. To reserve the meal, call Phil Moore at (816) 540-3169.
