Trees for Missoula promotes a sustainable, equitable, climate resilient urban forest through education, advocacy, and community engagement.


Community Pruning Workshop

THURSDAY, JANUARY 22ND, 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Join Trees for Missoula to learn the basics of formative pruning on small trees. We'll spend the morning in the classroom (10am - 12pm), break for lunch, and spend the afternoon outside pruning (1pm - 3pm).

The morning session will take place at the Parks & Rec Operations office (100 Hickory Street) and we'll prune in the afternoon at a nearby location. Please dress for the weather and bring a lunch!

This class is free but space is limited -- please RSVP HERE to reserve your spot.

Note: this is a structural pruning class, not a fruit tree pruning class!


MISSION & VISION

Trees for Missoula’s mission is to promote a healthier, sustainable, climate resilient urban forest through community planning, stewardship, education and advocacy.

We’re committed to executing this work through the lens of climate change. Building a climate-resilient community is one of our many efforts at Climate Smart Missoula. Urban trees are an essential piece of climate resiliency efforts, as they have the power to sequester carbon emissions and protect us against hotter temperatures and other extreme weather events.

Our goal is to build and sustain an urban forest that benefits the Missoula community. To do this, we plant and prune trees, educate residents about the benefits of urban trees and tree care, and advocate for strong urban forest policy.
