Tree School is a Skool community for people interested in trees, run by Levi O'Brien, who calls himself an arborist, a dendrologist and above all a teacher.[1][2] It aims to bring knowledge of trees and wood, including their history, use, identification and ecology, back to the general public, with courses on tree topics for beginners and professionals.[2] The Skool group was created in July 2026.[2]
