Tree Collegiate and Citizen Arboriculture Training (TreeCATs)

TreeCATs is an annual, five-week training program hosted by the Urban Forest Initiative. Topics range from tree identification to the social impacts of trees on your community, and many topics in between, concluding with a project of participants' choosing. Those who want to know more about trees and/or urban forestry, apply for TreeCATs!
