The Tree Foundation of Kern will soon be announcing its next Citizen Forester training program starting in the fall of 2010. We will post the dates and times on our website. Residents interested in learning more about trees will have a chance to become "citizen foresters" during a series of free Saturday classes. 
The program will teach participants planting techniques, basic tree care, species identification, and how to lead community planting and tree maintenance projects. The program is organized by the Tree Foundation of Kern.
Over 15 hours of hands-on learning will be offered in four Saturday classes. All classes begin at 9:00 am and end at about 12:30 pm. Locations vary and will be given at time of sign up. All materials and tools will be provided. If you are interested in getting more information about this very sucessful program, send us an email at treeinfo@urbanforest.org.
