courses
Saplings teaches kids, families, and community groups how to plant, protect, and understand trees through practical online lessons and school-ready programs.
Built from real tree-service experience, our courses focus on what to plant, how to care for it, and when saving a tree matters more than removing one.
What to expect
Every lesson should end with something you can actually do in a yard, campus, or neighborhood planting day.
No prior tree knowledge needed. Saplings starts with the basics and explains why each step matters.
We teach care, planting, and decision-making clearly while respecting when tree removal or expert help is the right call.
Content is designed to work for homeschoolers, teachers, parents, and community leaders planning hands-on learning.
Programs and learning paths
Saplings works best as a blend of digital learning and hands-on community education. The goal is simple: help more people plant the right tree, care for it well, and make smarter decisions when trees are stressed or unsafe.
Age-appropriate lessons for elementary and middle school learners covering how trees grow, how to plant correctly, how roots need space, and how young people can care for trees in their own neighborhoods.
Short, practical course modules for families, first-time planters, and curious homeowners who want clear guidance without industry jargon.
What species to choose, where to place them, and how to avoid common planting mistakes.
Watering, mulching, early pruning awareness, and how to help young trees survive their first seasons.
Clear educational content on when a tree can be supported, when it needs attention, and when removal should be left to professionals.
