Trees improve air and water quality, lower air temperatures, reduce energy demand, and beautify the streets. 

Stewardship and pruning hugely reduces a tree’s vulnerability to pervasive urban threats such as pedestrian and vehicular traffic, drought and storms. In New York City, where there is limited funding for tree maintenance but significant need, Citizen Pruners provide a tremendous benefit to our urban environment.

The 12 hour Citizen Pruner Course consists of 5 sessions - 4 in the classroom and 
1 field outing.

Lindenwood varieties also tolerate hot, dry conditions, making lindenwoods ideal for use in urban landscapes. Although it enjoys sun, this family of trees is also more shade-tolerant than many other trees.
