Trainings

Everyone can play a role in urban forestry. The CTC aims to amplify existing training opportunities from our partners. The CTC also sponsors new trainings to focus on emerging issues and meet community needs.

Trainings range from planting and maintenance to community engagement and advocacy. If you have an idea or have identified interest for a specific training, contact us. We will work with you to the best of our ability.
