Tree Pruning Workshop with the Urban Forestry Division

So you've planted a tree - now what? Join Arborists with the City of Richmond's Urban Forestry Division, for a hands-on workshop on how to prune and care for young trees. This workshop is suitable for homeowners looking to gain practical knowledge on how to monitor and maintain their trees, or for any Richmond Tree Stewards or community partners who are seeking to improve their tree care skills.
The workshop will be held at Swansboro Playground, where trees were planted in 2021 in partnership with Southside ReLeaf, the Chesapeak Bay Foundation, and Parks & Rec. Attendees can expect practical and personal instructions on how to properly prune these young trees in the first 1.5hr, followed by a short break for the RTW Kick Off Celebration, and ending with more tree care tasks and additional time to complete any unfinished pruning. All of this work will help to prepare these young trees for the Fall and Winter months. The first 3 years after planting is considered the most critical time in ensuring healthy root and structural development, so help create a future full of happy trees!
