DATES October 21st, 2024-December 21st, 2024 PARTNERSHIP The Arizona Community Tree Council (ACTC) is offering this program in 4 cities in Arizona; Yuma, Somerton, Nogales, and the South of Tucson. For the South of Tucson, ACTC is working in partnership with Tucson Clean and Beautiful (TCB) to offer this program to participants in the South of Tucson. TCB has run a similar program in the past and is utilizing all of their knowledge and experience of arboriculture in conjunction with ACTC and AAPP programming. TCB will provide participants peer-to-peer mentoring and offers a whole-person approach to the program. In addition, to the hands-on-training and arboriculture opportunities, they will also assist in finding appropriate internship opportunities. TCB's schedule starts on a Tuesday and ends on a Saturday to allow for more time to connect with the community and the land planting trees. |

Now every time i see a tree or a shrub I'm looking for the species, if there are any diseases, wrong prunes or if it's planted properly and I think it's important knowledge to know even without being in the field of arboriculture." -Emma F. 2023 AAPP graduate |
