Benton Park West Tree Care Blitz

Open to the public!

Come snack, socialize, and transform street trees. Make a lasting environmental and community impact, meet great people, and learn about tree care. All are welcome to attend!

City trees are critical to our wellbeing, but they need routine care to be good neighbors. We mulch, water, inventory, and clearance prune trees to help them live long, healthy lives shading our city.

Blitzes begin with introductions and snacks. Donuts and coffee are provided. Please bring a reusable water bottle to carry while volunteering if possible.

New volunteers are equipped with tools, safety gear, and hands-on training from a certified arborist. Throughout the Blitz, our arborist supervises the group's efforts and answers questions. Neighborhood Foresters and our Blitzes operate with the support of the St. Louis Forestry Division.

We care for street trees as a group until around 11:00, but socializing often continues after.

Come have fun and make an impact by volunteering with us!

* Please note that meeting times may differ during the months of November and December due to the holiday season.
