Help the Ecology Action Center and local partners plant 10,000 trees every year to reduce air pollution, sequester carbon, increase wildlife habitat, improve watershed protection, and much more!
Volunteer
Many, many, many hands are needed to plant 10,000 trees every year! Most of these trees are seedlings – about 2′ tall and a very small diameter. We plant them using a “dibble bar”. Volunteers need to be 18 years or older unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and then must be at least 14. All volunteers must be able to spend at least 3 hours on their feet, use hand tools safely, and lift a weight of about 15 pounds. Volunteers are needed in the fall of 2025 for harvesting the trees we have on hand and potting them so that they can be planted in the spring. Dates are posted on our calendar once they are scheduled. Sign up for volunteering!
Spring 2026 tree prep and planting volunteer dates will begin to be posted in the new year, so stay tuned!
Donate
Your donations (as an individual, as a Tree Team group, or as a business sponsorship) are greatly needed to raise the finances needed.
At approximately $5 per tree for planting costs, we need to raise as much as $50,000 for this year’s tree planting efforts. As the Ecology Action Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, all contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law. Please donate generously within your means.
Tree Tributes are donations made in honor of, or in memory of a person. Learn more about Tree Tributes.
