1. April 17 - INTENSIVE FRUIT TREE PRUNING COURSE
   This is a hands-on course for people who want to learn more about pruning. We will cover the principles involved in pruning young, middling and old age trees and discuss why we are pruning. We only require that you bring a small hand held pruning saw and a good pair of pruning shears. If you have a safe step ladder we would appreciate your bringing it as well. Be sure to mark your tools. Each participant will prune at least one tree and more if you feel up to it. This is an outdoor course so warm gear is very necessary. This course will take place from 10am to 2pm. It will take place rain or shine or snow flurries. A lunch made by the Cedar Cafe staff will be available for $10.00 or you can bring a box lunch. You need to pre-register as we are limited to 40 people.
