Planting Leader Training

Each Fall, Canopy invites community members to join our dynamic team of volunteer Planting Leaders. Our amazing planting leaders are integral to our work. It's thanks to their leadership and enthusiasm that we're able to plant hundreds of trees each year, and care for hundreds more. Planting Leaders are trained in proper tree-planting techniques and young tree care practices. During planting events, planting leaders pass on this knowledge, providing guidance and instruction to groups of tree planting volunteers. Along the way, they build connections and friendships, grow a thriving urban forest, and help create greener, healthier communities.
