Do you have a passion for trees and shrubs? Want to learn more about health and maintenance of these woody wonders? With the online Manitoba Arborists course through the University of Manitoba, you can now study tree care from the comfort of your home.
Offered by the School of Agriculture, the course covers tree biology, plant classification and identification, soil science and tree worker safety. Participants learn about proper tree pruning techniques as well as the issues that affect urban tree health, including environmental stresses and forest pests and diseases.
The Manitoba Arborists course has been taught on campus since 1997, and recently also became a web-based offering through UM Learn, the University of Manitoba’s online learning management system. The online course closely mirrors the 12 weekly sections covered in the in-class course, but allows students the flexibility to learn the material at their own pace and on their own time.
