Congratulations to high school science teacher, Mr. Kevin Quigley, and his ecology students on earning their Tree Tender certification. The Tree Tender program was developed by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) in collaboration with Penn State Extension Urban Foresters and equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to restore and care for urban forests in their communities. The training is offered by Tree Pittsburgh in Allegheny County. Mr. Quigley’s class was the first school-based group to complete the training.
