Fall 2008 RNeighborWoods Citizen Forester Workshop – Register Today!
2008-09-20 12:00
In spring 2007, led by the City Forester, 17 tree enthusiasts graduated as official Citizen Foresters. The class culminated with the group, led by Girl Scout Troop 100 planting a ball and burlap tree at the Quarry Hill Nature Center.
Join us on Saturday, September 20, 2008, for an intense day of tree education, climbing, and planting. This class will give participants an increased awareness and knowledge of Rochester’s urban forest, even those who’ve already been through a Citizen Forester class.
Become a part of the Rochester urban forester team through this course led by the City of Rochester Forestry Division and RNeighborWoods. This class is packed with tree education, climbing, and planting.
You’ll be an active participant in learning tree planting basics, care, basic arboriculture, urban forest advocacy, and hands-on activities. Discover techniques that will give you the knowledge to correctly plant trees that will grow 100 years or more, rather than the average of 20-30 years.
Upon completion of this class you will earn the greenly official title of “Citizen Forester”. Leaf it to us, this Saturday will likely change everything you thought you knew about trees.
To register go to the ActiveNet – Community Education class registration page, log in, and then choose category “Adult-05:Home and Garden” and activity # 8644.121.
