Let's plant trees together!
Your help is needed on Saturday mornings, Oct ’23 through May ’24, to plant trees and make a difference greening Salem! Friends of Trees will provide tools, gloves, guidance, and some light breakfast snacks. For more volunteer information, please read our COVID-19 & Volunteer FAQ page.
Events are held Saturday mornings (9am – 1pm) from October-May (please sign-up – these trees don’t plant themselves!). Planting with Friends of Trees is a great way to get outside with your friends or family (or by yourself!), learn how to plant trees, meet people, fulfill service learning requirements, and help make the Salem area greener and healthier—all in a few short hours.

*the 23-24 calendar will be updated in late summer*
Volunteer as a group!
Friends of Trees welcomes groups to volunteer together at our planting events! Planting trees with your group is fun, promotes group bonding and team-building, and is a great way to give back to the community. One person from the group may register the full group, simply visit the online calendar and fill out the registration form for that event, indicating the number of people in the group. Depending on your group size, we may need to split the group up into smaller planting crews. If you have any questions about which event is right for your group, please don’t hesitate to be in touch with our Volunteer & Outreach team: [email protected]
The Salem 23-24 planting calendar will be updated in early Fall 2023. This is the 22-23 calendar to give you a sense of where we might return to plant!
