What to expect

A day with Wildrealm

Never volunteered before? Here's exactly how a typical event day runs.

Hot tea, name tags, gloves and a quick safety chat. Tools and saplings are ready by the truck.

Into the field

Small teams, a site lead per team, and a rhythm that makes thousands of saplings feel easy.

13Lunch

Community lunch

Vegan soups, great bread and stories from the field โ€” a proper celebration of the morning.

16Wrap

Group photo & close

A round of applause for everyone, a group photo by the newest trees, and your geotag update by Monday.

Save your spot

Bring a friend โ€” the mud is free.
