Canopy Volunteers

We are immensely grateful for the dynamic and committed community of volunteers, friends and supporters that make Canopy’s work possible! 

Our volunteers further our work in many unique ways. They help lead tree plantings, support free neighborhood tree walks, prune and stake mature trees, carry out young tree checkups, help with school-based environmental education, and amplify Canopy’s message to all segments of our communities.

We’re grateful to all 1,250 of our individual volunteers! Thank you to each one of you who make our work possible.
