Forwarding this info from PA Horticultural Society:

 

Always highly recommended is the Tree Tenders Program starting May 5th.

It's a lot of fun and West Philadelphia can always use more people who care about trees.  Tree Tenders training only happens twice a year, so don't miss this opportunity.

(Please note: If four neighbors sign up together you will receive high-quality tree care tools to keep and use.)

If you have already taken the basic Tree Tenders training, think about signing up for the following continuing education courses:
