Registration is now open for the Fall 2024 training class of the Charlottesville Area Tree Stewards. The program will consist of a combination of online training sessions and field activities. The field sessions involve walking on and off trail in forest settings, planting trees, and removing invasive plants in local parks and woodlands. The class has a 15-week duration beginning August 6 and ending November 16. Because we ask that all Tree Stewards be willing to volunteer at least 25 hours a year, this class is open only to those who live in the area covered by Charlottesville Area Tree Stewards: the city of Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Greene, Fluvanna, Nelson, and Luisa. |
