Community Tree Pruner - If you enjoy being outdoors, love trees and your community, this is an opportunity you need to check out. The cities of Becker, Big Lake, Elk River and Princeton are partnering with the Sherburne Soil & Water Conservation District and the U of M Tree Care Advocate Program on a pilot program that aids in increasing local capacity by working together and engaging citizens in community forestry. Citizen Pruners are trained in tree identification, biology, and pruning techniques. After attending training the volunteers will prune at "events" on public property with trainers present. These events will help to maintain a healthy urban forest. Volunteers pay $5 for training. Next training Sat 9/23 in Big Lake. Contact Gina- ghugo@sherburneswcd.org - 763-241-1170 X4.
