Summer Volunteer Opportunities: Prune Cherry Trees, Measure and ID Park Trees, and more

A new season brings new opportunities to get outside and get involved with Casey Trees – even summer when we don’t plant! Whether you want to get your hands dirty, learn more about trees, or pitch in where you can, we have something for everyone. Remember, all our events are free and you do not need prior tree or Casey Trees experience to join in:
