In this class, you will learn all about the state of Louisville’s urban tree canopy, how to plant a tree and how to lead volunteer groups on planting days. Community Foresters are our “rockstar” volunteers who work with the community to build capacity in urban forest management and stewardship. Our Urban Forestry efforts wouldn’t be possible without this dedicated group to coordinate volunteers on planting day, educate the public, and advocate for trees.

Class will take approximately 3 hours with an indoor lecture portion and a hands-on planting portion. 

Volunteer Expectations and Requirements - 

• Must be 16 years or older to become a Community Forester
• Volunteer at 4 tree events per year
• Become a LEAD volunteer and assist folks who have not planted before
