Heartland Tree Alliance (HTA) is offering an in-person fall TreeKeepers course in Mission Kansas!

TreeKeepers is a hands-on educational course for anyone looking to increase their knowledge of trees or to become more involved in the community. These courses are great for gardeners, City employees, landscape providers, Master Gardeners, students and retirees.

All sessions will be held at the Sylvester Powell Community Center, 6200 Martway, Mission KS.

Class graduates will receive a TreeKeepers Handbook, certificate of completion and are encouraged to participate in HTA volunteer workdays!

If you have questions, please call Sarah Crowder at 816-561-1086 or email Sarah.Crowder@bridgingthegap.org and she’ll be happy to help!
