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
Becoming a Canopy Corps Volunteer is a wonderful opportunity to help increase Louisville’s urban tree canopy! 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 able to work outdoors lifting, bending and digging.
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.
