Heartland Tree Alliance (HTA) is offering a FREE 2-hour course on basic tree pruning skills for shade and ornamental trees. Fruit trees will NOT be discussed. Participants will learn through instruction and demonstration about proper pruning tools, basic tree biology, types of pruning cuts, and how to make a proper cut. Space is limited.

This course is a prerequisite for volunteers who would like to participate in HTA pruning workdays throughout the metro as well as for anyone interested in learning more about basic pruning techniques.
