Upcoming Training Opportunity

The North Dakota Urban & Community Forestry Association (NDUCFA) will be hosting a Winter Tree ID Workshop on November 6, 2019 at the ND Heritage Center.

Through presentations, publications and looking at actual samples, this workshop will provide tree care practitioners the opportunity to expand knowledge and comfort level in identifying trees in winter using visual characteristics and dichotomous keys. If weather permits, some sessions may be held outdoors.
