Lower Moyamensing Civic Association 
Last year Passyunk Square Tree Tenders ran a pruning training course through a program sponsored by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. This year, East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association is managing the training, but they’ve invited Passyunk Square Civic neighbors to join. There are three remaining trainings October 3, October 17, November 7. You can attend one or all three. Bring tools if you have them or some may be provided. For more information email beautification@passyunk.org.
And if you’re interested in getting a tree for the sidewalk in front of your home, requesting assistance with light pruning for your tree or helping us canvas your block for more trees, get in touch– or visit PSCA‘s tree information page.
As a Tree Specialist, this looks like a very informative class that everyone should partake in.
