North Platte NRD Tree Pruning & Community Forestry Workshop
North Platte NRD Tree Pruning & Community Forestry Workshop
The North Platte Natural Resources District, and the Nebraska Forest Service, are partnering to host a tree pruning workshop about the proper pruning methods and tools, general tree care, borers of deciduous trees and the programs available through the partners. It is important to start pruning trees within the first 10 years of their life and keep up with a regular routine. If the pruning is done while they are young, it will be easier and less harmful to the tree. The workshop will be held Wednesday, March 20th, 2024 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Carpenter Center, 116 Terry Blvd, Gering, NE 69341. The workshop is free of charge, open to the public, and lunch will be provided to the morning participants. It will be conducted inside and outside, so participants are reminded to dress accordingly. The morning will be limited to 35 while the afternoon, will be outside and welcomes more attendees. A workshop brochure that contains tips for pruning young trees is available on the NRD website at www.npnrd.org.
