Citizen Pruner Tree Care Course Manuals

Citizen Pruner Course Street Tree Care Manual by Trees New York
You don't have to be a New Yorker to be a Citizen Pruner anymore. We've rewritten the manual from our wildly successful "Citizen Pruner" course for other cities. Now you can learn to care for your city's trees no matter where you live. Our manual outlines the curriculum for an intensive 12-hour course which combines in-class and field work. Trees New York has trained over 5400 Citizen Pruner volunteers with this very same curriculum in the country's largest city. Our Citizen Pruners have assumed much of the responsibility for NYC's young street trees. This curriculum is also used in many locales throughout the US. The curriculum and materials have been used in municipalities ranging in size from a few hundred to more than 1 million. Care for your city's trees, we'll teach you how. *Please note that the manual distribution is only for organizations and groups located outside of the five boroughs of NYC. This text is copyrighted, you must purchase one copy for each student. The course manuals are available only from Trees New York. Publishing of the newest edition of the manual was generously funded by International Paper.
