Heartland Tree Alliance Treekeepers Workshop

TreeKeepers receive training in environmental awareness and basic arboricultural principles. Through twelve hours of classroom learning and six hours of outdoor training, participants learn about tree identification, soil biology, site suitability, proper planting and pruning techniques, common insects and diseases, and much more! Upon completion of the course, TreeKeepers are asked to give 24 hours of volunteer time to the Heartland Tree Alliance for municipal tree care projects around the Kansas City metropolitan region (it is not required to volunteer, although we highly recommend it). If you miss a class during the training, you can make it up at a later date!

Taught by urban forester, Chuck Conner with the Missouri Department of Conservation. $50 registration.
