Coming up this week! Free Online Tree Workshops via The City of Calgary:
Our annual tree workshops are moving from in-person events to free, online live events due to COVID restrictions.
The workshops will be approximately 1.5 hours in length and will feature a live Q&A session at the end with a City of Calgary Urban Forestry Technician to offer advice and answer any tree-related questions or concerns.
Pre-registration is required for all of the workshops, if you would like to attend, please register below. The link to the workshop will be emailed to participants two days prior to the program date.
All materials will be available for downloaded prior to the start of the workshop. The workshops will also be recorded and available to view on Calgary.ca at a later date.
