Neighborhood Tree Captains (NTCs), are local volunteer leaders working to recruit their neighbors to receive trees, free of cost, receive trees, free of cost, for their private properties during a Trees Forever-guided community planting event. Captains serve as a valuable tool to their community by providing resources to aid with planting and caring for new trees.
Neighborhood Tree Captains will be awarded up to 50 trees to distribute throughout their neighborhood. A Captain’s job is to spread the word about the opportunity to receive high-quality trees, free of cost. The Trees Forever planting team will work with captains on logistics, advertising, and planting day support. You don’t need to be a tree expert to be a Neighborhood Tree Captain! We are looking for applicants who are enthusiastic about environmental stewardship and willing to reach out to their neighbors.
