CommuniTree Stewards program
This program is from Cornell Cooperative extension of Onondaga.
The program focus is caring for trees in public places to assure healthy trees. Stewards learn a lot about trees and do a lot of good work. Participants have all levels of expertise and interest in trees and in gardening. A pet project is the native plant garden at the zoo.
Check out these brochure and contact Fran Lawlor if you have any questions.

We have something similar for municipal employees in Westchester County. We’ve trained 50 Tree Stewards over the last two years. It’s been a very successful program.
