About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Transform an ordinary parking lot into a temporary forest of trees in preparation for the Maplewood Tree Distribution. Volunteers form a line like a bucket brigade to unload hundreds of trees and sort them according to species. Enjoy an amazing workout and the fresh aroma of each variety of tree.

We will email you a reminder two days prior to the event.

Be prepared!

🧥 Wear weather appropriate clothing that can get dirty.

🥾 Wear closed-toe shoes or boots that can get dirty.

💧 Bring a water bottle! This is hard work and it's important to stay hydrated.

☔ Prepare for any weather - we work in the rain! Event will be cancelled or postponed in unsafe conditions (lightning, extreme temperatures, severe weather).


What to expect on site:

🧤 Check in at the Tree Trust tent to receive work gloves, a high visibility vest, and instructions.

🦺 We will be unloading 10-gallon container trees! Team lifts are encouraged for heavy trees, and we will be sorting them by species.


Tree Trust volunteers should be prepared to:

  • Stand, walk, and carry trees and bags of mulch
  • Lift up to 30 pounds (we encourage team lifts for heavier trees)
  • Have a meaningful impact on their community!


Tree Trust staff and tree experts will be on hand to supervise and answer any questions!

If you have any questions, contact us at volunteer@treetrust.org.
