THE LEAFLET

A new season brings new opportunities to get outside and get involved with Casey Trees! Whether you want to get your hands dirty, learn more about trees, or pitch in where you can, we have something for everyone:

Throughout the Spring and Summer | Outreach Volunteers
Share your love of urban tree canopies and Casey Trees with D.C.! Outreach Volunteers are ambassadors of Casey Trees that promote our work at various events throughout the city, such as farmer’s markets, festivals, and neighborhood gatherings. Largely held outdoors, outreach volunteers at these events help spread the word about preserving and promoting D.C.’s tree canopy and green spaces.
