Mark your calendars now! Classes begin January 20, 2015
JOIN THE REGREEN SPRINGFIELD TREE TENDER TRAINING PROGRAM 

Regreen Springfield Tree Tender Training Program will begin on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 and continue every week for a total of five sessions. By joining this program, you will gain skills in tree species selection, planting, pruning, landscape aesthetics and design, and urban forestry. The sessions will be held from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. Upon completion of at least 4 of the 5 sessions, you will receive a complementary tree care tool from Regreen Springfield.

The sessions will also be recorded, and support materials and the session replays, will be available on the web as part of our new Regreen Online e-Learning web portal.

This course, which is aimed at all age levels, will go beyond the basics of pruning that were covered in winter’s pruning workshop, and provide a broader base of skills and knowledge that will serve you well as you care for your own property, or volunteer on community projects with Regreen Springfield.

To learn more about the program, please add your name to the course email listing. Please visit http://goo.gl/sv3M6B to sign up, with no obligation or commitment. We are just trying to gauge interest in this program so that we can move forward with the curriculum development.

On Saturday, September 13th,  join Regreen Springfield, beginning at 8:30 AM, in helping to prune trees in the city. This “Tree Pruning Field Day” will provide an opportunity for you to get outside and lend a hand with some important work that otherwise might not get completed.  We’ll work on caring for young streets, which are at a critical time in their growth and development.  We’ll work until 11:30 AM, and feed you following the event.  How can you beat that offer?

Teams of volunteers recently completed a day of similar pruning and were very excited to see how much of a difference their work made in helping to bring newly planted trees into shape and better structure.

If you have not yet attended one of our Tree Tender Pruning Workshops, we will work with you to help you develop the skills needed to help in this effort.

Please plan to attend this community event, and bring your own pruners if you have them, but more importantly bring your enthusiasm to this event.

We will meet at Regreen Springfield headquarters, on One Federal Street, in the Business Growth Center.  This is just across from the main entrance to Springfield Technical Community College on Federal Street.
