One of our intrepid pruners signs up and readies himself to brave the elements for the rewards of a great pruning event and an even better cup of coffee.

The hard work of our pruners is demonstrated by the clean cuts and keen eye for details.

The pruners get a start on the area near Weld Boathouse and JFK Park.

A good eye and a pole loper make getting the crossing limbs an easy task.

Members of Riverside Boat Club get into the pruning season with large clean up around their boathouse.

What a difference a week makes. The work around Riverside continues as the temperature plummets and volunteers work hard to keep warm.

After a warm cup of joe and doughnut, CRC assistant John Broderick gets through the final of his triple cuts.

Here's a sample of the fine work and long distance that a group will cover in a few hours of pruning.

A proper pruning technique and a smile while working is priceless.
What a fantastic job.

The triple cut method is one our main pruning techniques and a RBC volunteer gets it perfect.

RBC volunteers and pet finish upstream of the boat club and get ready to compost the cuttings.
