Pruning trees is very important to their long-term health and longevity. Canopy is offering a special workshop for you to learn this vital skill and join our team of volunteer Pruning Leaders. The workshop will be taught in a hybrid format across two sessions—an online class and a hands-on fieldwork session.

In Session 1, topics covered include species-specific pruning, different types and styles of pruning, a detailed overview of pruning young trees, and more.

To qualify as a Canopy Pruning Leader, volunteers must complete both sessions and 10 hours of pruning practice with Canopy staff. For additional questions, please contact Indira Selvakumaraswamy, Volunteer Engagement Manager, at [email protected].
