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.

This course is a two-part course held on consecutive Wednesday evenings in September: Wednesdays Sep 4 and Sep 11, 6-8.30pm. Course format includes indoor and outdoor instruction (weather permitting), with the majority of time spent indoors, and short breaks.
