Pruning 2.0: Hands-on tree care, overhead tree pruning, & overhead utility line safety workshop
Cost: $5
Where: We’ll start on the NE corner of 9th Avenue and University Blvd. Dunbar/Spring Neighborhood, Tucson, Arizona 85705.
As we work we may shift our location, but we will always be in the public right-of-way on the side of the street along either 9th Ave or University Blvd, within one block of the intersection of 9th Avenue and University Blvd.
Open to all (whatever neighborhood you live in). Learn how you can organize similar Neighborhood Forester efforts in your neighborhood.
This workshop will cover foundational pruning, tree care, and mulching; though focuses on pruning overhead with pole saws, pole loppers, and other hand tools. It also offers guidance in avoiding tree conflicts (and potential fire threats) with overhead power lines.
All work will be done while standing on the ground.
After demonstration we will move to adjoining parts of the neighborhood to get supervised hands-on experience as we help prune native food-bearing trees and shrubs in our neighborhood’s public rights-of-way.
Participating in this workshop is required to be able to access the pole saw and pole lopper tools from the Dunbar Spring Neighborhood Foresters tool library.
