2009 Fall Citizen Forester Training

Citizen Forester Workshop
Saturday, September 26, 8 am-noon, at Quarry Hill Nature Center

Over 20 Rochester folks came out early on Saturday, September 26, to learn all about trees at the Quarry Hill Nature Center.

Jacob Ryg, Rochester City Forester led the class with help from Nate Runke, from Maier Forest and Tree and Jesse Hoekstra, RNeighborWoods committee member. Participants were taught about the Rochester urban forest, tree planting basics, care, basic arboriculture, urban forest advocacy, and as well as proper planting techniques.

All graduates of the class were encouraged to be active tree advocates in their neighborhoods and participate in upcoming RNeighborWoods activities, including our fall community tree planting
