Green Tacoma Day - Green Blocks: South End Volunteer Planting Event

Pre-registration is closed but you can still join us!

Parking is limited; we encourage folks to carpool. Please bring your own water bottle and gloves if you prefer them. Dress for all weather, dirt/mud and sturdy shoes. The Community Tree Program will provide all planting tools and equipment, coffee, snacks, water and gloves. 

Green Blocks: South End provides planting assistance to participants that need it. This is an offsite planting event, which means you'll be driving from planting site to planting site, either in a caravan of cars or carpooling.

Volunteers will break into small planting teams led by a TTF Trained Tree Captain. As a group you'll travel to 2-5 planting sites, meet the residents and plant their tree for them. So special!

Please invite your friends or co-workers! We have a blast!

Under-Age Volunteers: Each minor that accompanies you will be your responsibility. Upon arrival you'll sign a consent form for each minor. All adults (18+) need to register individually.
