I came for one planting day to clear my head. Five years later I lead a crew of forty.
Every pair of
hands counts.
No experience needed, no minimum hours, no excuses. Join 8,400+ volunteers keeping the wild growing.
Why volunteer
You don't have to be a scientist to save a forest.
Most of our volunteers arrive knowing nothing about trees — and leave knowing exactly what it feels like to plant one.
We provide the tools, the training, the gloves and the hot lunch. You bring sturdy shoes and a spare hour, a Saturday, or a whole season.
- Free events all year, family friendly
- Track the exact trees you plant
- Certificates, references and school hours

Volunteer stories
Why they keep coming back
A few words from the people who turn up — and keep turning up.
Jonas Berg
Riverkeeper · 3 years
My kids ask every month when the next clean-up is. That's the best parenting win I've had.
Priya Nair
Nursery · 2 years
The nursery smells like hope. I pot seedlings and listen to the birds — best volunteer job there is.
Leo Martins

I'm a developer. I built the map that shows where every tree went. Seeing it fill up is addictive.
