UFTK Classes

Urban ForesTree Keeper is a basic tree-care course offered each year by Trees For Houston. The class teaches Houstonians the basics of tree identification, proper planting techniques, site suitability, pruning, fertilization and after planting care. The course also emphasizes the important environmental role trees play in our city. The goal of the Urban ForesTree Keeper Program is to provide a volunteer-based resource for local municipalities, school districts and neighborhood associations in the greater Houston area.

Urban ForesTree Keepers will receive training in environmental awareness and basic horticulture principles through 8 hours of classroom instruction and 3 hours of workshop applications. After completing the program, class members will also have the opportunity to volunteer at Trees For Houston volunteer plantings throughout the planting season. Upon completion of four of the Urban ForesTree Keeper classes you will receive a graduation certificate and a hat.
