Gilroy tree amigo class

Our City Forest is getting ready to bring more trees to Gilroy

We are looking to create a team of trained planting volunteers located in and around Gilroy. Our City Forest is putting out a call for community volunteers to join the OCF team to learn best practices and be ready to plant independently. Volunteers will need to attend a minimum of 2 planting events and successfully plant 3 trees to Our City Forest standards before becoming a certified Gilroy Tree Amigo. Certified Tree Amigos will then be able to independently plant Our City Forest provided trees throughout Gilroy. For more details or if you have any questions please email our Volunteer team at volunteer@ourcityforest.org



Please email volunteer@ourcityforest.org if you have any questions.
