Summer & Fall Tree Care

Neighborhood Tree Team

Our Tree Team monitors the health of newly planted street trees. Volunteers are trained to give tree care advice to homeowners. Each Tree Team volunteer is assigned a neighborhood route where trees have been planted during the past year. The volunteers leave notices for homeowners to congratulate them for taking care of their new trees and identify ways they can help improve their trees' health.

Natural Area Summer Tree Care

Friends of Trees organizes volunteer work parties to weed, mulch and water newly planted native trees and plants at urban natural areas. Some of the volunteers also monitor the sites for survivorship, growth rate, natural recruitment, presence of invasive species, and quality of plant installation.
