If you are looking for a way to combat climate change and create a more equitable community, you might just be a future Friends of Trees Crew Leader! You want to lead the public to plant trees in parks and neighborhoods that don’t have as many, you might be a future Friends of Trees Crew Leader!
"Do I need to have planted a tree before?" Nope. You also don’t need outdoor experience, or any fancy gear. You simply need an interest in trees, and an interest in helping mentor others to plant them. FOT staff and already trained Crew Leaders will teach you everything else you need to know!
"Where do Crew Leaders volunteer?" Crew Leaders are particularly needed in Salem and Washington County- these are the areas where we have the most planting events scheduled in the upcoming Oct ’21-May ’22 season. If you’re willing to travel to these areas, that counts too! We’ll be planting at other locations in Multnomah and Clackamas Counties as well, but have fewer events.
"What is the time commitment for this role?" In total, you are expected to commit ~20 hours (this includes an online training + 4 planting events, ~4 hrs each). The planting events are mostly on Saturday mornings and you’ll have dozens to choose from October-May. We’ll send you a list of events you’re qualified for after after you complete the online training.
"Do you have any age requirements?" We ask that Crew Leaders are age 16 or older. Youth 15 and younger are welcome to become Crew Leaders but we ask that they have an adult with them for all their events.
"What about Covid-19?" Safety is our highest priority at Friends of Trees. We’re holding an online training (rather than gathering in a classroom setting), and planting events are outdoors where we encourage maintenance of 6’+ of physical distance and encourage mask-wearing when that is not possible. Unfortunately, due to Covid we are not encouraging car pooling, it is highly recommend you have a personal vehicle when signing-up for this role.
