The City of Seattle’s reLeaf program is looking for new Tree Ambassadors to care for our urban trees – no previous experience necessary! We need your help in these areas, plus we’ll train you:
Tree Walks: Show off your favorite local trees and engage your community. Learn the basics of making maps, identifying trees, and creating walking routes. Next training: Wednesday, March 12 and Saturday, March 15 (attend both).
Landscape Renewal: Plan and organize small-scale renovation projects to improve the health of our local trees. Renovation work includes removing invasive plants, planting trees and understory plants, and mulching. Next training: Wednesday, April 2 and Saturday, April 5 (attend both).
Street Tree Stewardship: Adopt street tree plantings and help them thrive. Learn to plan work parties and recruit volunteers to mulch, weed, and care for the trees that are essential to making Seattle’s neighborhoods walkable. Next training: May 17.
