2. Each spring Branch Out Burlington! offers an evening Tree Keeper Training for anyone who cares about trees. The training session is led by the most experienced urban forester in Vermont--Warren Spinner, Burlington’s City Arborist. The program will cover how a tree grows, where to plant a tree, how to plant it and care for it-- and how to prune your trees safely. We hope this training session will help the public take care of trees where ever they are. Everyone is welcome, even those living outside Burlington. All attendees will be entered in the drawing for a free tree!
