For this summer only, Iowa State University Forestry Extension is offering the Iowa Community Tree Steward Program (CTSP) to the residents of Scott and surrounding counties this May and June 2015. Here is your chance to become a Certified Iowa Community Tree Steward!
The Iowa Community Tree Steward Program is intended for citizens and professionals who wish to learn more about trees and tree care. The course consists of six hands-on classes that cover tree identification, tree selection, landscape planning, pruning, planting, disease and insect management, risk tree assessment, and much more. The classes on May 7, 14, 21, 28 and June 4 and 11 take place from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm and on May 16th it will be from 8 am to 5pm. The cost is $50.00 per person or $60.00 per couple.
The program is sponsored by Iowa State University Extension in partnership with Iowa DNR and the Iowa Arborist Association. We are currently working on ISA CEU's for the course and more information and the CTSP application form will be made available on ISU Forestry Extensions website: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/forestry/index.html
