The first of two Tree Care Workshops was held at Springfield Technical Community College, on January 23, 2014.  Thirty-eight attendees participated in this session, which introduced urban forest concepts to the audience, as well as planting, pruning and tree growth components.  The three-hour session is part of an effort to enlist and train volunteer ‘Orchard Tenders’, who will help to care for the two newly established fruit tree orchards in the city.  For more information on how you can join this effort, please Click Here.
