Join us as we plant over 3,000 native trees and shrubs this fall in parks and natural areas throughout the city. Planting trees is a fun outdoor activity for families and individuals of all ages.
No experience or volunteer registration is required. However, if you are coming with a group of 10 more or more, please let us know so we can acknowledge your group at the planting.
Here are some tips to help you have a great volunteer experience:
- Be prompt – we’ll teach you how to plant trees at the beginning of the event.
- Wear sturdy shoes – no sandals or flip-flops please.
- Wear clothing appropriate to the weather – we plant rain or shine! Don’t forget sunscreen.
- Bring water – we’ll have a jug to refill your reusable bottle.
- Bring a shovel if you have one, but we have many to lend you if you don’t.
- Secondary students can earn volunteer hours at our events. Don’t forget your forms!
- Consider walking, cycling, carpooling, or taking the bus to our events.
- Some of our locations are tricky to find. Please look at our maps and watch for posted white and green signs directing you to the planting locations.
