Description

Winter Fruit Tree Pruning Workshop Learn the essential skills of winter fruit tree pruning at one of Sacramento’s community orchards. We’ll explore the craft of pruning, the tools that make it possible, and how urban agroforestry can play a significant role in enhancing the resilience of our urban ecosystems and communities to a changing climate. Instructor BIO Dominic Allamano is a regenerative agroforester and experiential educator working at the intersection of urban food system repair, climate change adaptation and the long term reconnection of communities and the land they inhabit together. He is passionate about the necessity of reimagining our relationships to our neighborhoods in ways that will improve long term ecological and community wellbeing, while expanding food access and enhancing climate change resilience. He worked for five years as the Edible City Coordinator at Soil Born Farms, developing an urban food forestry initiative which included the regional Harvest Sacramento fruit gleaning program, as well as garden building and fruit tree planting programs serving residents of South Sacramento. He provides artisan fruit tree pruning and care, soil health services and related skills education and mentoring throughout the Sacramento region, and is currently a graduate student in the agroforestry program of the University of Missouri. There is no fee for the workshops but donations are accepted!
