Get Involved
VOLUNTEER
Our Tree Care program engages volunteers in understanding and caring for valuable publically owned trees in urban areas outside of parks. We also plant and maintain trees at a few Seattle Public School sites. Our events page lists upcoming events which include tree care, forest bathing, restoring Seattle's forest and more!
The Green Seattle Partnership is working to restore 2,500 acres of forested parkland by 2025. Volunteers remove invasive plants, plant new native trees and understory plants, and perform long term maintenance. The Trails Program works with volunteers to address the need for trail maintenance, trail construction, and trail development standards.
PLANT A FREE TREE
The Trees for Neighborhoods project provides free trees for Seattle residents to plant in their yards. Trees are available in the fall. Participants also receive free watering bags, mulch, training in proper planting and care, and ongoing tree care support.
URBAN FORESTRY COMMISSION
The Urban Forestry Commission advises Mayor and City Council on policy and regulations governing the protection, management, and conservation of trees and vegetation in Seattle. All meetings are open to the public.
HERITAGE TREE PROGRAM
Nominate a special tree to be recognized and celebrated as a Heritage Tree. This program is a partnership between Plant Amnesty and the Seattle Department of Transportation.
