You can volunteer once or often. Those interested in playing a more active role at Casey Trees, can be come a Citizen Forester by taking one of three qualifying classes each season – Trees 101, Stand Up for Trees or Tree Planting. Citizen Foresters teach new volunteers how to properly plant and care for trees and spread the word about Casey Trees and the importance of trees.

Eligibility Requirements
We welcome individuals and groups of all ages and skill levels. Most volunteer events require no previous experience or knowledge of trees. Those that do will note them.
We do ask the following:
- Register in advance. If you register and your plans change, update your registration status so another may attend in your place and we can be appropriately staff the event.
- Check-in opens a half hour prior to the indicated start time. Individuals must be present for the tool safety demonstration at the start of the event to participate.
- All participants must turn in a signed Volunteer Waiver Form before being allowed to volunteer. Children under 18 years of age must turn in a Volunteer Waiver form signed by their parent or legal guardian and be supervised by an adult at all times.
- Volunteers should dress comfortably and for the weather. Closed toe shoes are required.
