Can my company or group volunteer with CityTrees?

Thank you for getting in touch with CityTrees about arranging a team volunteer work opportunity for your group, (group name).  Tree planting is a great team building activity that can accommodate a range of physical abilities. Since we are a 100% volunteer-run non-profit where our members have full time jobs during the week, our planting events are on Saturday mornings from 9am-12pm between September and May, and would require at least 8 or more volunteers from your group to be able to complete a planting. If your group is made up of minors between the ages of 14-17, we need 1 adult to attend with each minor. 

As a local non-profit community organization, we rely on grant funding, sponsorship, and community donations to fulfill our mission. To accommodate your request to work together, we ask for a $200 donation per person who plans to attend this event. Our  events require use of tools and safety considerations, we cannot permit the consumption of alcoholic beverages at our events, or beforehand. 

If this sounds like it is a good fit for your group, please send us approximately how many volunteers you think you could supply and the name and contact information of your volunteer coordinator. After we have more information from you, we can look at planning an event for your group, or add you to an existing event. 

Thank you for your interest in working together to grow our urban canopy.
