Volunteer
Join the cause of a cooler Louisville.
Increasing Louisville’s a tree canopy is a big job – one that requires a community-wide commitment. We need people like you to help us plant and prune trees and educate others about the critical role trees play in our city.
CANOPY CORPS VOLUNTEERS
Join the Canopy Corps and help grow Louisville’s urban tree canopy. As a volunteer, you’ll support TreesLouisville on planting, pruning, watering, and mulching projects across the city. We provide hands-on training—led by an ISA-Certified Arborist—so you’ll learn best practices for planting and tree care and feel confident sharing that knowledge with neighbors. This is a recurring, hands-on role for folks who don’t mind getting a little dirty and want to make a lasting impact. To get started, attend one training session and be prepared for outdoor work that includes lifting, bending, and digging. Upcoming trainings will be listed as an opportunity on our volunteer signup page here.
SPECIAL EVENTS & EDUCATIONAL VOLUNTEERS
As a Special Events & Educational Volunteer, you will be the voice of TreesLouisville to the public! This volunteer opportunity allows you to engage with our community through outreach booths at festivals, farmers markets, and other events, as well as provide educational information about the importance of Louisville’s urban tree canopy.
Special Events Volunteers may also assist TreesLouisville in larger events like tree giveaways and landscaping projects. This opportunity does not require training before you are able to volunteer.
