Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RKZ9B7J TAZO Tree Corps: American Forests is partnering with SZA, TAZO Tea and Davey Tree Experts to launch the TAZO-Tree Corps, an initiative to hire BIPOC people into arboriculture. Do you know any person of color in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area who maybe has an interest in working with trees or outdoors, with none to limited experience, and would prefer to be supported with wraparound subsidies for childcare and transit as they transition into work? This opportunity is specifically designed to support folks in the BIPOC community aged 21+ facing barriers to employment, but with a fervent interest in starting fresh in a new career.
The Minnesota Woodland Owner Workshop series will help you prepare for your spring tree planting.
Three 30-minute prerecorded presentations will be available to registrants.
On April 20, registrants can participate in a 1-hour Question & Answer session with the presenters from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. During the Q&A, you'll get links to resources you can refer to in the future.
