Our City Forest is a small non-profit dedicated to inspiring and supporting citizens in the planting, caring and appreciation of the urban forest throughout Santa Clara County. We'd love to have you join us in fulfilling this mission by volunteering your time for a wonderful cause.
A great way to start out is to check the Events Calendar. This is the easiest way to see a list of all the current events and volunteer needs. Any age or size of group are welcome! No experience necessary.
To volunteer, just contact the volunteer coordinators with the event or date and time you are available. You can also submit the Volunteer Sign-Up Form. Contact the volunteer coordinators at (408) 99-TREES x123 or by emailing us at volunteer@ourcityforest.org.
