Tree Stewards of Arlington & Alexandria will begin a new membership class in Fall 2024, and applications will be accepted via Google Form mid summer. Forty-five spaces are available.

This will be a hybrid training of weekly Zoom presentations (conducted live) on Tuesday evenings and assigned readings that you will do at your own home. In-person weekend sessions with experienced Tree Stewards and tree care professionals will offer discussions of that week’s Zoom and readings, hold tree walks, practice pruning and planting, and teach the correct way to identify and remove invasive plants.

The complete schedule of classes will be announced this summer. Classes will begin with an in-person meeting outdoors on Saturday, September 7, 2024. Classes will finish in early-to-mid November, with an in-person graduation gathering in early December.
