Let's plant trees together across West Eugene! Dozens of trees will be ready for planting in their new homes, and your help is what makes this community planting possible.

Transportation: Our neighborhood planting events will have driving teams and bike teams. You will travel from the meeting location to several planting sites (up to several miles). We recommend private transportation (bike or vehicle), but there may be an option to carpool if others in your small planting crew are also comfortable with this. Planting Volunteers: How do I register? Register by filling out this quick form.  Groups (up to 15) and individuals welcome! If your group is more than 5 people, reach out to Taylor at [email protected] to coordinate and please know you will be assigned to different planting crews. Under age 18? We request that youth 15 and under volunteer with a parent/guardian. Youth 16 and older can volunteer on their own and will need to hand us a youth waiver form signed by their parent/guardian. Want to join a bike planting team? Register here. Bike teams will bring their own bike or borrow a bikeshare bike to help cruise trees and tools from site to site. Bike teams will haul their gear on bike trailers. Have a truck that can haul trees & tools for planting teams? At each neighborhood planting event we are looking for trucks to help out with hauling gear for planting teams or delivering mulch to teams for their newly planted trees.
