One full scholarship to a TreeKeepers Course

Through Openlands' TreeKeeper Course, tree lovers of all ages and backgrounds gain accessible training and education that certify them as an official TreeKeeper. The month-long course gives students an appreciation for trees in our region through learning about urban forestry in the age of climate change, and best practices in tree planting and care to build a more resilient urban forest. After completing the program, you will be certified to care for, protect, and plant trees with Openlands. Through the TreeKeepers Program, you can volunteer for and lead tree planting events, participate in or organize your own pruning days, take part in continuing education and advocacy programs, and join or start your own TreeKeeper Chapter to advance community-based forestry goals. Join the ever-growing community of tree ambassadors that care for the Urban Forest in Chicagoland!
