Many of our former board members, current members, and past meeting attendees are active on the PalmTalk forums or on Facebook. Effectively, this is an all call for assistance.

All NorCall members, The Byron Hot Springs has a large number of palms (primarily Washingtonia and Phoenix species) that are over 120 years old. The owner/developer is interested in the health and well-being of all of these palms. Is anyone interested in working with me to do a complete assessment of trees on the property?
