Sign up to become a Tree Ambassador
Do you dream of living in a tree house? Do you eagerly await the first leaf buds in the spring? Do you love to lie on your back and watch branches dancing in the breeze? Does a stroll down a tree-lined street put a smile on your face? You may be a tree lover!
The City’s reLeaf program is looking for new Tree Ambassador volunteers. Tree Ambassadors are a valued part of Seattle’s urban forestry network. Volunteers are trained within a project area and have the opportunity to attend a variety of fun and informative workshops on topics like pruning, tree identification, and community engagement. Tree Ambassadors also get opportunities for unique experiences like learning to climb trees with professional rigging and tours of local botanic treasures. Volunteers who complete a project training get a free t-shirt and name tag.
Seattle reLeaf is currently recruiting new Tree Ambassadors in three project areas:
- 1. Tree Walks
- 2. Landscape Renewal
- 3. Street Tree Stewardship
No previous tree experience is necessary for any of these project areas.
