Become a Tree Tender
Want to get involved with the trees in your neighborhood or community? Become a Tree Tender! Tree Tenders is our flagship course that teaches you all about trees and how to become an advocate for them in your neighborhood. This course covers urban forestry practices, tree biology and health, basic tree identification, proper pruning and maintenance, and instruction on how to lead your community in organizing tree plantings and tree care.
Want to be a Tree Tender? You’re in luck! Our next Tree Tenders Course is a virtual opportunity Saturday, December 5 from 8:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Learn more and register here.
