Overview: This workshop will be led by our Arboriculture, Conservation and Landscapes (ACL) team and will feature a special presentation by Shane Wagoneer from Bartlett Tree Experts. Following an indoor theory presentation about pruning woody plants, participants will gain hands-on experience using and maintaining pruning tools.

The morning will start with an overview of pruning practices that focus on woody plants. The course will cover the use and care of pruning tools and the basics of pruning theory. Participants will have a chance for some hands-on pruning experience using containerized plants.
