2025 Indiana Arborist Association Day of Service

Join us for this opportunity to provide our skills to help out this historic site. There is much needed pruning for both young and mature trees. The other really rewarding goal of this event is to help train the grounds staff that are responsible for pruning the trees on the site; in particular how to properly prune trees according to industry standards. The staff will get the opportunity not only to learn how to care for the trees on the site but also experience what arborists do.

We are looking for 25-30 volunteers and some assistance with machinery to complete the wish list of objectives for this event. Let’s join together and improve the trees on the site as well as leave the grounds staff with some knowledge and experience they can use forever. Coffee, donuts and pizza will be provided. Please reach out to
