Tree Ambassador The Tree Ambassador program empowers residents to become stewards of the urban forest and serve as resources for their local community. Tree Ambassadors are trained in the basics of urban forestry and community organizing. Tree Ambassadors work to develop neighborhood projects such as tree walks, invasive species removal workdays, and tree planting and care events.
Upcoming Tree Ambassador Events Want to learn more? Join us at one of these upcoming public events lead by the Tree Ambassadors! Eastlake Tree Walk Join your neighbors, friends, and experts for a tree walk of an Eastlake neighborhood to learn more about the trees that live amongst us! Our 2-hour walk will help you discover over 40 different trees in a 1/2 mile walking area. Ballard Tree Care Party Street trees provide so much to us – let’s love them back by getting rid of the weeds choking their trunks and giving them a nice new layer of mulch. There are almost 200 trees in the blocks around Ballard Corners park that need our help to thrive this summer. Tools and refreshments will be provided, but be sure to wear clothes that can get dirty and closed-toe shoes. Check out this Seattle Channel video on the work the Tree Ambassadors are doing!
Tree Ambassador is a collaboration between the City of Seattle and Forterra. Program work is funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Forest Service’s Urban and Community Forestry program.
