Volunteers of all ages are welcome at this event to help plant and water these young trees. Attached are volunteer waivers you can bring with you on planting day.
No experience is needed, training is provided.
Can you and/or your organization serve as Water Brigade volunteers to help water the newly planted trees on planting day?
Volunteers are needed to help make sure each tree is deep watered with 15 gallons on planting day to help them get off to a good start.
Can you and/or your organization assist with watering the trees during their first year?
The Port of Long Beach and CAL FIRE have provided funding to plant 10,000 trees in Long Beach neighborhoods through 2022. Residents, businesses and community groups partner with Housing and Neighborhood Services Bureau to provide volunteers at the tree planting events.
