Wilkinsburg Tree Tender Course

Tree Tenders course to be offered in Wilkinsburg with Nine Mile Run Watershed Association

Have you noticed the new trees that have been popping up all over Wilkinsburg Borough? These all count towards the Wilkinsburg TreeVitalize Project: Rooted in Wilkinsburg, with a goal to plant 500 street trees by fall 2012. Trees young and old need care in order to survive and thrive, and we need your help to keep them growing for years to come.

Practice Your Pruning Skills, Saturday January 14th!

Pruning young trees is one of the most important actions you can take to help them
thrive in the built environment.  Whether in your backyard, on your front sidewalk, or in your neighborhood park, shaping young trees through proper pruning practices will help them grow healthy and strong, and prevent potential problems in the future. 

This Saturday Tree Pittsburgh will be leading a Pruning Workshop on the South Side Trail where we’ll cover important lessons such as:

A Pruning Primer for Homeowners

A Pruning Primer for Homeowners

Saturday, November 17th, 1pm-3pm , Coro Center for Civic Leadership, Terminal Buildings
