Description
The workshop begins with indoor instruction on both trees and shrubs, followed by extensive hands-on outdoor instruction led by certified arborists. Participants will be asked to wear clothing that meets the safety standards for pruning and bring a helmet, safety glasses, hand pruners, loppers, a pole pruner, and a folding saw (if you have one).

This workshop is more effective if each attendee brings their own tools. If you do not have tools, you will get less of a hands-on experience as you will need to share with other participants.

Attendees will be required to wear PPE during the hands-on portion of the workshop.  All attendees will be required to sign a liability waiver before the workshop begins. This course will take place rain or shine.
