Friends of Trees: Crew Leader Training
Posted by hannah.cherry
Friends of Trees is seeking new Crew Leaders for the upcoming October-April planting season! Being a Crew Leader is a great way to meet people, develop valuable leadership skills and, of course, learn how to plant trees the right way.
You’ll wear a Friends of Trees vest at weekend plantings and receive the respect and admiration of the volunteers on your crew, as well as receive a coveted Tree Team t-shirt and great food (a hallmark of all of our planting events).
Crew Leaders are one of our most important volunteer roles as they help teach our volunteers how to plant trees and work together as a team. During our planting season, each crew leader commits to guiding small groups of planters at four Saturday morning plantings throughout the planting season. We have almost 70 public planting events scheduled this season.
You’ll learn to guide volunteers and how to plant small native trees and shrubs to help restore natural areas and green spaces, as well as plant larger urban street trees in Portland & Vancouver neighborhoods.
Join this fun and energetic team by signing up for a required one-day training.
