Get a hands-on pruning lesson with certified arborists and practice your new skills on young street trees with guidance. Together participants will prune over a 100 street trees, promoting good structure and preventing future maintenance issues in the Brooklyn neighborhood. Arborists receive 3 ISA CEUs for participating!
