Bilingual Tree Tenders Spring Basic Training Series

At the heart of SKCP's tree program is the work the Old/South Kensington Tree Tenders, neighbors who have been trained by our partners at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) in the biology, care, and planting of trees. As the City of Philadelphia undertakes its first ever Urban Forest Strategic Plan, O/SK Tree Tenders are looking forward to the renewed interest and commitment to the planting and care of our neighborhood treescape.

If you want to become a trained Tree Tender and join the effort . . . Register (here) for the upcoming PHS Bilingual Tree Tenders Basic Training series, Wednesdays, May 5, 12, 19, and 26 at 6 p.m. The eight-hour virtual course will teach tree biology, identification, planting, and proper care.
