Join us in West End to help our urban forest thrive by caring for young trees!
Activities include weeding and refreshing the mulch around trees, staking, watering, and picking up litter. We will be caring for trees throughout the neighborhood, which will require intermittent walking and possibly driving your personal vehicle to a 2nd location. (You can ride in a Trees Atlanta truck if needed.) Physical activity such as bending, lifting, and kneeling is required. Tree care can be physically strenuous - be ready to break a sweat and get dirty!
If interested, register both here and through TreesAtlanta to volunteer!
