Tree Stewards Training Session 2 – Tree Identification
March 18, 2025 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm CDT
Become an HLC Tree Steward!
HeartLands Conservancy is excited to announce the return of the Tree Stewards volunteer program, where volunteers will help look after and take care of new trees in southern Illinois communities.
In Tree Stewards Session 2, class participants will receive information on tree identification.
Registration is required to attend the Tree Stewards Program: Six free classes providing education on trees, their benefits, care and needs, identification, and more! Practical, hands-on learning experiences will be given in six key areas:
Session 1: March 11, 2025 Tree Biology & Benefits
Session 2: March 18, 2025 Tree Identification
Session 3: March 25, 2025 Pruning & Maintenance
Session 4: April 1, 2025 Insects & Diseases
Session 5: April 8, 2025 Forest Ecology
Session 6: April 15, 2025 Urban Tree Community Advocacy
No prior experience is needed to become a Tree Steward. We ask that Tree Stewards provide 24 hours of volunteer service throughout the year in community forests, parks, and HLC projects such as at the Swansea Exploration Garden.
