Citizen Forester Program

Tree Planting

Participants learn to select and prepare a tree planting site, choose an appropriate tree species for the site, and properly plant the tree to ensure survival. We cover  the techniques critical to maintaining urban tree health, including mulching, watering, and pruning. The service component consists of community tree planting and maintenance projects.
