Are you interested in learning how to help your fruit trees thrive?

Join 7 Lakes Alliance on Sunday, April 26th at our Homestead Property with local arborist Aaron Charpentier to learn about the art of tree pruning and to have a hands-on opportunity to practice best management of fruit trees.

Beginning his career in firewood, Aaron found a passion for species identification which has since taken root and sprouted many seedlings,  both personally and professionally. His care and attention to tree health and management has helped him to become a foreman at one of the largest tree companies in the area, and has also helped him attain private arborist licensing. This allows him to express his devotion to his craft by helping local businesses and homeowners deal with problem trees in a variety of ways. His love of arboriculture makes him the perfect instructor to demonstrate his industry-backed techniques used to maintain fruit trees and prevent damage and overgrowth.

What to bring:

Bring a rake or hand rake, gloves, pruners, if you have them and all your tree questions for this enthusiastic expert!

Where to meet:

Meet 7 Lakes Alliance staff at the Round Top parking lot located near the corner of Watson Pond Road and Wildflower Estates, 4 miles south of Watson Pond Road’s junction with Route 27. From here we will cross Watson Pond Road and walk 0.3 miles down the access road to our Homestead Nature Education property.
