"Talk" to IN DNR tree planting expert on Facebook

Facebook followers of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources can "talk" online with forester Carrie Tauscher about planting trees on Wednesday, April 1, from 2-3 p.m. EDT, on the DNR's Facebook wall.

Tauscher will talk about selection, prepping and correcting the root system, digging a hole and post-planting care. Participants are invited to join the conversation and ask questions.

Future topics, instructions on how to join a conversation on Facebook, and commenting guidelines are posted at www.dnr.IN.gov/7315.htm.

To join a chat, go to the DNR's Facebook wall, facebook.com/INdnr, and click "like" (if you are not already a "friend").

You may begin typing questions during the time slot. The DNR experts will answer questions as time allows.

Media contact: Marty Benson, DNR assistant director of communications, (317) 233-3853.
