Look, arborists make the bulk of their living cutting your trees down. So why not learn for yourself more about what is a healthy tree and how to help it achieve vitality. We particpated in this program in Philly, and it is a wonderful, low-key way to get out, get some fresh air and mingle with friends and neighbors. I promise, after this class, you will never look at our trees the same way again. And, with a Tree Tender group in our area, we can get grants from the Horticultural Society for maintenance equipment, like pruners, loppers, shovels, rakes, and even electric leaf blowers--everything but the tree.
The following is an excerpt from Julianne's email advertisement for this class:
"Tree Tenders is a training program that empowers concerned residents to make dramatic strides towards caring for their local tree canopy. It is a part of the "growing" TreeVitalize initiative, an effort led byPennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to increase the many benefits that trees offer us. This course was developed for citizens and experts alike. Since 1993, over 3000 community volunteers from 200 Pennsylvania neighborhoods have become trained Tree Tenders--you can too!
Join us for eight hours of hands-on training that covers treebiology, identification, planting, proper care, and working with your community. Lebanon County's Tree Tender training is Saturday, September 26, 2009; 8 am-4 pm at the Lebanon County Agricultural Center, 2120 Cornwall Rd, Lebanon, PA 17042."
