In honor of Earth Day and Arbor Day, and in celebration of all we do together to make our world greener and healthier for all, Friends of Trees is celebrating for the entire month of April–and here’s how you can join in!
It feels good to get outside, meet new people, and work together to make your neighborhood a greener place, full of trees and native plants that fight climate change, cool our homes, clean our air and water, and so much more. Come do good with us This April!
“I love spending my Saturdays getting to know new people and picking up on their good vibes! I absolutely love every Saturday that I spend planting trees.” -Hailey, volunteer.
YOU CAN BE A PART OF THIS
Our 37th planting is still going strong, and we’d love to see you at a community volunteer event! We have impactful planting and stewardship events all through April, and it’s incredible to see what happens when you get dozens of volunteers together working toward a common goal. For most, volunteering with us just means showing up on a Saturday morning with good boots and good spirits, ready to plant trees or native plants alongside friends old and new.
Check out volunteer roles here and check out our event calendar here to register for an event that’s right for you.

Every year, thousands of volunteers come together to plant trees at a Friends of Trees event. Together, we’ve planted more than 1 million trees and native plants since 1989. Out of the millions of reasons people come out, one stands out: it feels good.
It feels good to get outside, meet new people, and work together to make your neighborhood a greener place, full of trees and native plants that fight climate change, cool our homes, clean our air and water, and so much more. Come do good with us starting in October!
