CLASSES FOR TREE-KEEPERS

The first session of Trees for Houston’s Urban ForesTree Keeper will be Tuesday, Oct 3, and the class will meet each Tuesday evening in October. This basic tree care course teaches the basics of tree identification, proper planting techniques, site suitability, pruning, fertilization, and after planting care.

The course also emphasizes the important environmental role trees play in our city. The goal of the Urban ForesTree Keeper Program is to provide a volunteer-based resource for local municipalities, school districts, and neighborhood associations in the greater Houston area. There is a $20 fee for the series. For more information, go to the Trees For Houston website or call Catie Ross (713) 840-8733, x105.
