Seeds of Change: Street Trees and Standards at Longford Park

Session 6: Standards and Street Trees

The Details

Join us for the sixth Green Skills session being held at Stretford Meadows as part of our Seeds of Change programme, where you will learn a range of green skills, from seed, to tree, to woodland. You do not need to have attended the previous session to come along.

This session will spotlight the importance of street trees and standards. Meet our Urban Tree Officer at City of Trees, Grace, who will be speaking all about her journey into the environmental sector, and what her job entails. We will be carrying out a standard tree health and condition survey, followed by practical tree maintenance tasks. All tools and training will be provided.

This session is for young people aged 16-25, looking to learn new skills, gain experience in the environment sector or just to try something new! If you have any questions or would like any more information, contact Nina at nina@cityoftrees.org.uk.
