Friends of the Pittsburgh Urban Forest is holding a course for any residents who are interested in becoming Tree Tenders. Currently, over 600 Pittsburghers serve as Tree Tenders who care for young city trees in a great effort to green our city.

From a FPUF email:

Become a Tree Tender in 2010!

Join over 600 Residents Greening Pittsburgh, One Tree at a Time

Friends announces the Tree Tender Course Schedule for 2010!  This year we are offering 6 courses throughout the city, including 2 day-long courses by popular demand.  Join us to learn more about tree biology, growth, planting, pruning, and care.  Tree Tenders are invited to join Friends for Pruning Parties and other workshops–several of which will be new this year.

Greenfield: Tuesdays May 11, 18, & 25 @ the CitiParks Magee Senior Center, 745 Greenfield Ave, Greenfield

You can register for the course and see other available times and locations for the course here. Happy greening!
