Volunteer
There are many exciting ways you can volunteer for Trees for Cities and nearly all of them involve venturing outdoors and getting your hands dirty. Volunteering with us is a fantastic way to learn more about trees, get practical hands on experience, improve your health and wellbeing, meet new people and have fun. Sign up now for more information.
“It is always fun to work with the Trees for Cities team. A friendly and a very supportive team. “ Free the Trees Volunteer - 02/07/2012
Our Tree Planting season runs from October to March and brings with it many opportunities to make a real difference to London communities.
Get stuck in with planting to help us complete our ambitious projects across London. We will have thousands of trees to plant and will be happy to teach anyone and everyone how to plant trees.
See below for some planting dates for your diary, and email volunteer@treesforcities.org for more details and to register to volunteer on the day. NB all dates are subject to change, some events have limited space and early registration is essential.
During January we focused most of our planting energy in Ray Park, Woodford, planting 15,000 tree saplings! We also welcome volunteers to get involved in our work researching, maintaining, and caring for trees, and consulting local residents about our tree planting projects. We run internships and a yearly survey of our tree stock, and offer training and AQA awards – and our volunteering opportunities are always growing. To be kept up to date with our range of volunteering opportunities, and to find out more, contact volunteer@treesforcities.org.
To find out about past projects, take a look at what we got up to last year with our Londoners Love Trees volunteering programme.
"It was a great day and I'm really looking forward to coming again next time. Thanks for all the hard work by you and your team." - Ruskin Park Community Planting Day Volunteer, 20/10/2012
