Residents of Tremelo can arrange for their hedge trees to be pruned by registering on the platform www.goedgeknot.be. After providing the location, answering a few questions, and adding photos, the request becomes visible to volunteer pruning teams. The Regional Landscape then connects the owner with the teams to make further arrangements.
This approach ensures a well-maintained landscape without the owner having to do the work themselves. In return for pruning, the volunteer team may take the firewood home; the owner handles the remaining pruning waste.
Anyone wishing to join a pruning team can sign up. As a pruner, you help with hedge tree maintenance and receive the firewood. You are also insured during the work.
A basic pruning course, organized by the Regional Landscape, is mandatory for those working at height with a chainsaw. The next training session will take place on December 12, 2026. Registration is possible via the agenda on www.rlnh.be/agenda.
