This session is also available on July 21 in Plymouth NH
Led by NH certified arborist and a board-certified master arborist, Lee Gilman, this hands-on training will guide participants through:
-
how to differentiate between maintenance pruning and renovation pruning
-
how to grade the structure and form of trees and shrubs
-
how to prioritize the most beneficial and efficient pruning opportunities
-
how pruning cut choices impact plant health, structure, and growth response over time
This session provides a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on experience, with guidance from arborists and UNH Extension pruning mentors. We’ll spend approximately one hour indoors discussing pruning concepts and standards, then we’ll move outdoors for hands-on learning and demonstration, working within the ANSI A300 Part 1 standards.
Participants should bring their own pruning equipment, including hand pruners, loppers, and pruning saws. A limited number of loaner tools will be available. The majority of this session will be held outdoors. Please dress for the weather and bring water.
Contact Amy.Papineau@unh.edu with any questions.
This event is hosted by UNH Extension and the New Hampshire Arborists Association, in collaboration with The New Hampshire Landscape Association.
