Many around the country have experienced harsh weather this spring. Many locations have undergone flooding and others have dealt with severe storms. Below is a list of extension education resources that may be useful if you’re trying to help your landscape recover:

• University of Minnesota: Flooded Trees – Minimize Injury (a few quick tips)
• Iowa State University: Understanding the Affect of Flooding on Trees (good list of flood tolerant vs. intolerant species)
• Clemson University: Assessing Landscape Tree Loss (putting a value on your leafy friends)
• Alabama Cooperative Extension System: ACES EDEN Website (bottom of the page is a list of resources on storm-damaged trees)
• University of Missouri: Caring for Flooded Lawns (a few years old, but still a good resource)

Do you know of a post disaster landscaping resource that master gardeners and/or their clientele might find helpful? If so, please tell us about it via the comments feature of this blog (remember to include a URL!).

For more disaster education resources on a wide variety of topics, go to the Extension Disaster Education Network website or the eXtension floods page.
