Interested in planting trees throughout the year with Trees Matter? We need folks who can help us plant trees at elementary schools through our Trees for Schools Program, and other plantings! New to planting trees? No problem, we will train you!
Our Volunteer Cohort is a commitment for volunteers, but with great rewards--such as gaining knowledge on the proper way to plant a tree, working with students to beautify their campus, and taking ownership of being involved in a special group!
There are a few requirements for the Volunteer Cohort:
- Must be free on weekdays, during the daytime
- Must be physically able to dig, lift, etc.
- Must be able to transport oneself to the planting location
- Must be 18 years or older
- Must have a fingerprint clearance card (if you don't have one, you can still apply!!--As long as you receive your card before the first planting date in early March)
- Must be excited and enthusiastic to work with kids, and be a reliable, responsible volunteer
Once you express interest through VolunteerMatch, our Volunteer Manager will contact you with the next steps.
Thank you for caring about trees and our community just as much as we do!

Trees offer many critical functions such as shade, pollution reduction, dust reduction, food, increased property value, carbon sequestration, increase in mental and physical health, and more. The Valley has an immediate need for an increased tree canopy; Trees Matter works to alleviate this need by educating the public on tree knowledge, and distributing desert-adapted shade trees to residents across the Valley.
