Let's face it, tree pruning is not easy! If you have fruit trees that look more like a “haunted orchard” than a “bountiful harvest”, then this workshop is for you.

The City of Torrington Conservation Commission, Northwest Conservation District, and Five Points are hosting a Tree Pruning Workshop on:

Saturday, March 21, 2026
10 am to 1 pm
852 University Drive, Torrington
Park at Five Points across the street.

Learn from Mike Nadeau, a nationally recognized arborist and organic land care expert with more than 30 years of experience. He will cover:

• Tree rehabilitation techniques
• Smart pruning and maintenance strategies
• Soil health and nutrition tips
• Pest and disease management

Whether you are brand new to fruit trees or have been tending them for years, you will walk away with practical skills to keep your trees healthy and productive.

Dress for the weather.

RSVP to Nate Nardi-Cyrus at 860-489-2221 or [email protected]
