Dear Friend-
I'm pleased to invite you to the next round of Tree Tender trainings!
Here's your chance to take part in the "growing" TreeVitalize movement,
a program designed by Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and
Natural Resources (DCNR) to increase Southeast Pennsylvania's tree cover
and the benefits that trees offer us all. Join us for 9 hours of
hands-on training that will cover tree biology, identification,
planting, proper care and working within your community.
The course is being offered on weekday evenings at five different
locations, and is designed for lay people and experts alike. The course
is free but registration is required. Pennsylvania Landscape
Architecture, PLNA, ISA Certified Arborist, and Act 48 CEUS are offered.
There are several ways to register. See below for a registration form
which could be faxed to 215-988-8810 or mailed in. You can also register
online, by going to www.pennsylvaniahorticulturalsociety.org, and
choosing "Tree Tenders Training".
