Calling all tree fans: The Volunteers In Pruning - also knowns as VIP - program will train local tree fans on the ins and outs of pruning this Friday. You can learn about pruning objectives, tree biology, proper pruning cuts, and several types of pruning. The course will focus on training young trees for form and structure. This will include classroom learning followed by an outdoor hands-on training.

After completing this training, you will be able to work with the group on pruning projects identified by local foresters. This program is sponsored by Community Canopy and presented by Spokane Urban Forestry and the Spokane Conservation District.
