Would you like to earn a citizen forester designation? Friends of Grand Rapids Parks is now offering the first class of four that will help you achieve just that.
Learn the art and science of planting trees in an urban environment. This class is designed to help folks identify the proper location, timing, methods and maintenance of trees. The goal is to train volunteers who will then go back into their community and teach other people in the neighborhood about tree planting.
The workshop will be held September 12 from 6:30-9 p.m. at Richmond Park Shelter on Richmond Street NW. Anyone can attend and the cost is free for Friends of Grand Rapids Parks members. A $5 donation is suggested to become a member.
The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
We need your help.
If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.
