Geoff Mouming, from Impact7G Sustainable Environmental Solutions, will join us to speak about Trees. Geoff is an admitted and unapologetic tree hugger and believes tree selection isn’t an art form but it does take purposeful planning to select the right tree for your specific landscape. Trees are a true asset and one of the best investments a homeowner can make to increase the value of your property. Planting trees should be a priority to offset climate change and benefit the environment.

As the Project Manager for Restoration Services for Impact7G's Natural Cultural Resources Division Geoff is well-known in the Johnson County area. For 30-plus years, he worked in commercial landscape management for a lawn and landscape maintenance firm overseeing prairie and pollinator installation. He also established and provided maintenance for corporate and institutional properties and worked with area service clubs and municipalities in multiple Earth Day/Arbor Day tree-planting projects. Geoff is an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist, vice president of the board of directors of Iowa Valley Resource Conservation and Development and the past president of the Rotary Club of Coralville/North Corridor.

The Second Sunday Garden Forums are cosponsored by Project GREEN and the Iowa City Public Library.
