QUESTIONS ABOUT GETTING INVOLVED
We'd love to have you volunteer with us! To get started, take a look at our volunteer calendar of events and select an event that sounds interesting and works with your schedule. Once you are registered, we will email you a confirmation with directions and details for the event you chose.
We limit the amount of volunteers at each event so that everyone involved has a fun, fulfilling experience. If the event you would like to participate in is full, please check to see if we have space at another event. If not, please keep us in mind in the future.
If you're part of a group, organization, or business, we welcome you to volunteer at our tree plantings, tree care events, and mountain restorations! For group volunteering, please email volunteer@treepeople.org to find an event that can accommodate your group.
We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities including: tree planting, tree care, mountain restoration, park maintenance, outreach, administration, and even photography.
If you want to go the extra mile, you can become a Volunteer Supervisor! We train two types of Volunteer Supervisors: one for urban forestry and one for mountain forestry. If you’re interested in focusing on trees in the city, become an Urban Planting Supervisor. If working in the mountains interests you more, become a Wildland Restoration Supervisor.
We could not do our work without the help of volunteer leaders who provide the instruction and inspiration to make our work successful. If you're a natural leader or you want to develop your leadership skills, this opportunity may be just for you.
The only speakers we currently offer are through our Teams for Trees program.

Before selecting mulch, always consult an arborist to guide you. Some arborists actually offer it for free; you can use this link to find a certified arborist near you.
The City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works has a free mulch giveaway program for city residents. To find the location nearest you, visit the City of LA mulch program page. You are allowed to take as much mulch as you want. All you need to do is bring your own shovel and bags.
If you don't live in the LA, we suggest contacting your local city government about whether they have a mulch giveaway program.
Yes there are! We have compiled resources to help you discover tools and ideas to make a more sustainable home.
If you decide to remove your turf, you may qualify for a rebate from the LADWP Landscape Transformation Program for LADWP customers or the Metropolitan Water District's Landscape Transformation Program if you have a different water provider. Rebates vary though the Metropolitan Water District’s program.
You can also learn more about rain barrels and tanks and apply for a rebate on rain barrels and cisterns through SoCalWaterSmart.com.
