Friends of Trees crew leaders guide small groups of planters at Saturday plantings, are invaluable to our mission of growing healthy communities, and wear the best orange vests. If you’ve considered getting more involved with Friends of Trees, now is your chance!

Our annual trainings are just around the corner in November. Be sure to pre-register below as these trainings are always popular and space is limited. Everyone who attends a training will receive free coffee and breakfast pastries, and a coveted Friends of Trees organic cotton Tree Team t-shirt.
