About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Join us as we plant trees for the community of Brooklyn Park! We will provide all tools and training, so no previous experience is necessary. Come ready to be outside and get a little dirty as we grow the next generation of our urban forest.

We will email you a reminder two days prior to the event.


Be prepared!

🧥 Wear weather appropriate clothing that can get dirty.

🥾 Wear closed-toe shoes or boots that can get dirty.

💧 Bring a water bottle! This is hard work and it's important to stay hydrated.

☔ Prepare for any weather - we plant in the rain! Event will be cancelled or postponed in unsafe conditions (lightning, extreme temperatures, severe weather).

👀 Watch the video below to get a head start on the tree planting demonstration!


What to expect on site:

☑️ Check in at the Tree Trust tent to receive work gloves and instructions.

🧤 Tree Trust will do a tree planting demonstration for the whole group.

🌳 You will break into smaller groups to plant trees in designated zones.


Tree planting volunteers should be prepared to:

  • Stand, kneel, and bend over
  • Use a hand saw, shovel, and wheelbarrow
  • Lift up to 20 pounds
  • Walk over uneven terrain
  • Have a meaningful impact on their community!


Tree Trust staff and tree experts will be on hand to supervise and answer any questions!

If you have any questions, contact us at volunteer@treetrust.org.
