Want to know more about the trees in your neighborhood? Want the benefits of healthy trees in your community, for your community? Become a Tree Tender!

Tree Tenders is a course from Tree Pittsburgh that teaches about trees in urban or built-up environments – collectively termed the urban forest. Specifically, our curriculum covers tree biology & benefits, tree identification for beginners, tree planting, tree care, including pruning, and how to get involved in efforts to protect and grow your patch of the urban forest.  Please note that if class spots fill up, we will give priority to TreeVitalize applicants. Contact maeve@treepittsburgh.org to arrange.

Course format includes indoor and outdoor instruction (weather permitting), with the majority of time spent indoors.
