The North Platte Natural Resources District and Nebraska Forest Service are partnering to conduct a tree pruning workshop to demonstrate the correct techniques for
pruning young trees. The workshop will be held Thursday, April 2, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the North Platte NRD office, located at 100547 Airport Road in Scottsbluff.
The workshop is free of charge and open to everyone.

The workshop will also demonstrate proper pruning tools and provide information on the NRD tree programs. Doak Nickerson, Northwest District Forester for the Nebraska
Forest Service, will be the presenter.

The April 2 workshop will be conducted mostly outside and will be held rain or shine, so participants are reminded to dress accordingly. A workshop brochure that also
contains tips for pruning young trees is available on the NRD website at www.npnrd.org.
