Master Gardener Training - Urban Trees

These workshops are offered in four locations around the state.

Classes will review the basics and explain how trees are different from other plants; explain how city environments differ from wild forests; discuss monitoring trees for a city’ s benefit; introduce you to tree professionals and projects in your area; and lots more. Each workshop session will be two days in order to cover all the materials.

We've designed this program to get you involved with volunteer efforts specific to urban trees. Expect to develop networks with other volunteers, area professionals and organizations working to improve and help our urban forests.
Sessions are planned for:
Anniston - July 19 – 20, County Extension Office, 9:30
Belle Mina – June 22 – 23, Tennessee Valley Research Center, 9:30
Fairhope – Sept 22 – 23, Gulf Coast Research Center, 9:30
Montgomery – July 6 – 7, Alabama Dept of Ag & Industries, 9:30

Registration fee will cover lunches and training materials. See registration forms below. Make as many copies as you need to share. For additional information please contact Kerry Smith at: 334-844-3036 or e-mail: smithkp@auburn.edu.
