Tree Ten­ders is a course from Tree Pitts­burgh that teach­es you all about trees and how to become an advo­cate for them in your neigh­bor­hood. Specif­i­cal­ly, you’ll learn about urban forestry prac­tices, tree biol­o­gy and health, basic tree iden­ti­fi­ca­tion, prop­er prun­ing and main­te­nance, and how to lead your com­mu­ni­ty in orga­niz­ing tree plant­i­ngs and tree care.

The train­ing loca­tion is Tree Pittsburgh’s Cam­pus in Lawrenceville. Bring a lunch since food will not be pro­vid­ed.  Park­ing is avail­able on campus.

Please note that this course is not appro­pri­ate for par­tic­i­pants under 16 years of age.
