The Indiana DNR Community and Urban Forestry program staff is hosting Tree Stewards workshops on the following dates and locations for spring 2026:
March 30 & 31: New Albany (agenda) ( registration)
April 9 & 10: South Bend (agenda) ( registration)
We hope to have a central Indiana Tree Stewards in the fall, so please stay tuned.
The mission of the Tree Stewards program is to:
- Educate participants on proper tree care, biology, and urban forestry practices
- Empower participants to advocate for community and urban forestry in their neighborhood, community, and state, and
- Connect participants to local volunteer opportunities.
Tree Stewards workshops are offered periodically throughout the state to teach the basics of urban tree care and advocacy. After attending the workshop, attendees are asked to put their knowledge into practice by volunteering 15 hours of service in their local community.
