Friends engages our community in enhancing our city’s parks, trees, and green spaces through volunteerism, park activation, philanthropy, and urban forestry.
Every area of our work increases access to nature while empowering Grand Rapids residents to shape their green spaces.
Join us for community events, hands-on classes, ArborFest, and Neighborwoods — there’s always something happening to bring New Castle together.
In this class, we review the basics of tree identification and practice our skills outside. We specifically focus on understanding tree terminology, and provide participants with resources to continue learning individually.
