This online training program will help you learn more about trees, about people, and about serving in a citizen advisory role in your city, town, or village.

The program consists of eight courses you can take at your own pace. You’ll spend between two and five hours on each one. After you complete one course, you will have access to the next one. You can return to the previous completed courses if you would like to review anything. Each course includes videos, multimedia presentations, reference documents, and online links to additional information. Upon completion of the eight courses, you will be able to join an online social networking community where you can post questions and interact with other like-minded Tree Board members from across the United States.
