“Working on real trees in the field will help participants improve these important skills,” stated a Currituck Extension press release. “We will host a lecture followed by an in-person, hands-on portion to the class, where participants will have an opportunity to prune a tree or shrub on the premises, with staff available to assist you every step of the way! We have a limited number of pruning saws available for use, so please bring your own if possible.”

Those with questions or need accommodations for persons with disabilities should contact Chris Blaha at 252-232-2261 or by email at ctblaha@ncsu.edu no later than 10 business days before class.
