Corona Clipper and PLANET Join to Create Training Tools

The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) and Corona Clipper have teamed up to create a training manual and DVD about the art of pruning trees and shrubs. The techniques shown within the DVD will mirror skills required to receive PLANET's nationally-recognized Certified Landscape Technician designation.

Available in both Spanish and English versions, the state-of-the-art DVD focuses on shrubs and trees less than 15 feet tall, demonstrating specific pruning techniques with a primary emphasis on safety. The accompanying manual will include content-related questions, enabling companies to test an employee's knowledge of the techniques and safety guidelines.

When conceptualizing this particular project, PLANET decided to partner with a quality green industry brand that knows pruning inside and out, making Corona Clipper the obvious choice.

"Corona is widely respected for their quality pruning tools," said Dina Wiley, director of business development for PLANET. "Joining forces with them enabled us to create a new training manual and DVD that truly represent the best products available for teaching professionals in the field how to prune better, safer and more efficiently."

"We are extremely proud to be involved with this very worthwhile project," said John Reisbeck, executive vice president for Corona Clipper. "At Corona, we continually strive to develop innovative, top-quality tools, as well as the educational materials that help users make the most of our products. This joint effort with PLANET was a natural fit for us. Anything we can do to help professionals to improve their performance tops our priority list."
