Join PlantAmnesty instructors at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens for a monthly series on various pruning and tree topics.

Join Ben Mark, consulting arborist and urban forestry specialist, as he shares the best management practices to protect existing trees during construction. This class will explore tree protection zones, root pruning, fencing, and other practical guidelines that will ensure your (or your neighbor’s) construction projects will have minimal impacts on mature trees. Ben is an ISA certified arborist and has worked with homeowners, architects, city planners, and conservation districts to retain or plant trees to increase urban canopy cover and encourage the preservation of valuable mature trees.
