If you don’t have a yard or the space for a new tree, professional arborists will still be on hand Thursday to answer questions and provide tips on keeping trees healthy.

According to the Trees Atlanta website, the group already offers a free Yard Tree Program in the cities of Atlanta and Sandy Springs.

The North DeKalb Senior Center is located at 3393 Malone Dr. in Chamblee.
