Workshop on Pruning Fruit Trees

In the past, fruit trees were common in and around our villages. They provide shade, support biodiversity, and yield delicious fruit. We are happy to assist fruit tree owners with maintenance. That’s why we’re organizing pruning workshops.
Everyone is welcome to attend the workshop—not just members of local working groups, but anyone interested in learning how to prune fruit trees.
