Becoming a Canopy Corps Volunteer is a wonderful opportunity to help increase Louisville’s urban tree canopy! Canopy Corps training is typically held 3 times a year, once in early fall, once in late winter, and once in early summer.
As a member, you will assist TreesLouisville in planting, pruning, watering, and mulching projects across the city. TreesLouisville will provide you with proper training from an ISA-Certified Arborist on the best practices to plant and care for trees.
If you are looking to be a part of a committed volunteer experience, willing to get your hands dirty, and share your knowledge of tree care with other community members, then this is the opportunity for you! In order to become a Canopy Corps Volunteer, you must attend a training session as well as be comfortable working outdoors, lifting, bending and digging.
The next Canopy Corps training to learn how to prune will be announced soon - stay tuned!
