Take Your Volunteering to the Next Level – Become a Tree Captain!

Support our community planting events by stepping into a leadership role. As a Tree Captain, you’ll deepen your involvement with the Community Tree Program, gain confidence in tree planting standards through hands-on training, and learn how to enhance volunteer engagement.

Tree Captains help make our events successful by creating welcoming learning environments, guiding small volunteer teams, and connecting with local residents. While prior volunteering or tree planting experience is helpful, it’s not required—just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to learn!
