Become a Tree Tender 
As part of TreeVitalize, PHS, in partnership with Penn State Cooperative Extension, will offer nine hours of hands-on tree-
care training for residents of the five-county Philadelphia region. Based on PHS's city-based Tree Tenders project, the free
training will cover tree biology, identification, planting, proper care and working within your community.
The Tree Tender training is designed for lay people and experts alike. The course is offered on weekday evenings at three locations each spring and fall. Pre-registration is required.
