Tree Stewards Training Session 6 – Tree Pruning and Maintenance
October 22, 2024 @ 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 6, class participants will receive information about tree pruning and maintenance from Bobbie Sue Hill from Willoughby Heritage Farm.
Register 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:
- Tree equity and tree biology (09/17/24)
- Tree Identification (09/24/24)
- Forest Ecology (10/01/24)
- Proper Planting (10/08/24)
- Insects and Diseases (10/15/24)
- Pruning and Maintenance (10/22/24)
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.
