Get Involved!

Adopt a Park

It takes many hands to preserve our parks. We are looking for families, organizations, groups, and businesses to help keep our parks looking great! 

Plant a Tree

We want to plant thousands of trees every year, and we'll need a lot of friends to help plant them. Join us for a tree planting or buy a tree from our team!

Volunteer

From park activation to hosting tree planting events, we have so many opportunities to volunteer for you, your organization, or your company!

Donate

Donations fund park activation, volunteer opportunities, and tree plantings! You love our parks now? Imagine what more we can do with your support!
