Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Bradford Pear Tree Bounty Program on Carolina's Family at 4

WELCOME BACK!

WE WILL GET YOU BACK OUT TO SOME

LIVE SHOTS IN THE AFTER MATH OF

THIS WEATHER.

WE HAVE SOME GUSTS TODAY.

YOU CAN BE A BOUNTY HUNTER IN

YOUR BACK YARD.

IF YOU HAVE PEAR TREES YOU

CAN DO THIS.

TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT'S

GOING ON HERE AND HOW YOU CAN

GET SOME OPPORTUNITY TO PLANT

SOMETHING ELSE IN PLACE OF THOSE

BRADFORD PEAR, WE HAVE OUR

SPCIAL GUEST FROM CLEMSON.

THANKS FOR HAVING ME ON.

I BET YOU WISH SOME OF THE

STORMS TOOK OUT THE BRADFORD

PEARS.

I GUARANTEE SOME OF THESE ARE

BRADFORD PEARS.

BRADFORD PEARS ARE POPULAR ALL

OVER THE SOUTHEAST, THE UPSTATE.

IN A COUPLE WEEKS THEY'LL BE

VERY PRETTY, FLOWERING TREES.

BUT THEY ARE ONE OF THESE TREES,

IN YOUR YARD THEY'RE FINE, BUT

THEY TEND TO GET OUTSIDE OF YOUR

YARD.

THEY TURN INTO ANOTHER TREE,

BIRDS EAT THEM.

BIRDS FLY AWAY AND SPREAD THOSE

SEEDS OUT.

THEN YOU GET THESE WHITE TREES

ALL OVER THE ROAD SIDE.

SO THIS IS A PROBLEM?

IT'S A BIG PROBLEM.

FOR A LOT OF LANDOWNERS.

THEY GROW THESE GREAT BIG FARMS.

THESE ARE NOT PRESENT ON THE

BRADFORD PEARS.

BUT ONCE THOSE THINGS GO WILD

AND GET OUT OF THEIR LANDSCAPES,

THEY HAVE HUGE THORNS.

ONCE THEY GET ONE OR TWO YEARS

OLD THERE'S NOT MUCH TO DO OTHER

THAN GET BIG EQUIPMENT IN THERE.

THEY'RE BIG TIME.

THEY CAN POP A TIRE.

HOW DOES THIS PROGRAM WORK?

HOW DO PEOPLE GET INVOLVED?

THIS PROGRAM, THE BRADFORD

PEAR PROGRAM.

WE'RE ASKING PEOPLE TO REGISTER.

CUT DOWN YOUR BRADFORD PEAR TREE

AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH IT.

TAKE A SELFIE WITH IT.

BRING THAT TO OUR EVENT ON THE

29TH OF FEBRUARY AND WE WILL

GIVE YOU ONE OF TEN DIFFERENT

KINDS OF THINGS.

WE WILL TRADE YOU ONE TREE FOR

ONE PICTURE.

WHO IS SUPPOSED TO DO THIS?

EVERYONE IN THE UPSTATE OR

CERTAIN AREAS?

IT IS FOCUSED ON THE CITY OF

CLEMSON, BUT IT'S FOR CLEMSON

AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

IF YOU'RE WILLING TO COME TO THE

EVENT AND YOU REGISTER, WE WILL

GIVE YOU A FREE TREE.

THERE'S A LIMIT OF FIVE.

YOU CAN'T JUST GO WHACKING THEM

DOWN.

YOU GOTTA OWN THE PROPERTY.

UP TO FIVE.

IF THERE'S A BUSINESS THAT MAYBE

HAS A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM THAT

LINE A DRIVE WAY, GIVE US A

CALL.

WE'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT.

THAT WOULD NOT BE VERY

NEIGHBORHOOD IF YOU WENT AND

CHOPPED DOWN YOUR NEIGHBOR'S

TREE.

OR YOUR LANDLORD'S TREE.

IN TERMS OF THIS PROGRAM

STANDING, IT'S BEEN A SUCCESS?

MORE THAN YOU'VE EXPECTED?

I WAS HOPING IT WOULD GO THIS

WAY.

WE'VE HAD A LOT OF COMMENTS ON

SOCIAL MEDIA, PEOPLE ASKING US

TO BRING IT TO OTHER PARTS OF

THE STATE, COLUMBIA, OTHER

PLACES.

WE'RE HOPEFUL WE CAN SPREAD IT

AROUND.

ONE OF MANY THINGS THAT

CLEMSON COOPERATIVE EXTENSION

DOES.

WE USE YOU FOR A LOT OF OUR

STORIES.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS.

WE'RE HAPPY TO HELP.

YOU'RE WATCHING CAROLINA'S

FAMILY AT 4.

WE'RE COMING RIGHT BACK WITH

MORE STORM COVERAGE.
