Arborist Experience

Engaging high school students in hands-on tree care activities.

A group of young people is standing in a forest clearing, with trees in the background. They are casually dressed, wearing shorts and t-shirts, and appear to be participating in an outdoor activity or camp. Some are looking down while others face forward.

Tree Care Day

Students participate in practical activities, learning about arboriculture and tree care from professionals in a fun, interactive environment during this annual event.

A person in a graduation gown reaches up to touch the branches of a tree, standing on a sports track surrounded by greenery. In the background, there is a field with a goalpost and several other individuals gathered in the distance. The sky is partly cloudy, creating a serene atmosphere.

A tree with yellow and green leaves stands in the foreground, surrounded by neatly trimmed shrubs. The ground is covered with fallen leaves. In the background, there is a large collection of parked bicycles lined up against a brick wall. The setting appears to be an urban area, with a building partially visible to the right.
