Description
Learn the art of young tree pruning with Michael Hawkins, certified arborist and Canopy Program Director.
Part one in this free workshop series includes 3.5 hours of classroom training and 2.5 hours of hands-on field training. No prior experience necessary; we welcome all skill levels, whether you’ve never held a pair of pruning shears or you’re a professional looking to brush up on your skills.
In part two of the training, participants attend at least two of multiple field sessions (additional sessions are optional). These sessions offer hands-on pruning practice with on-the-spot coaching from skilled arborists. The class also provides a service to the community by pruning young trees in area schools, parks, and neighborhoods. We encourage participants to bring their own gloves and pruning shears if possible, but several sets of tools will be available to share.
Lunch will be provided. Limited to 30 participants.
