Upcoming Casey Trees Events for Fall 2011

We're happy to announce the upcoming season of classes, presentations and tree walks from Casey Trees. We have a whole season of educational opportunities for you to dive into this fall. If you've ever wanted to become a Citizen Forester, learn about trees in the city or find out more about our programs, these events are for you.

While you're planning on which events to attend, make sure to sign up online ahead of time. All classes are free and all require advance registration. This allows us to plan for the right number of participants and anticipate staffing requirements. Most sessions are held at our 3030 12th Street NE headquarters, although some events will allow you to explore other parts of the city.
