STL_NF Tree Blitz and Community Engagement

Blitz are monthly tree-care events in your community to learn and get hands on practice on basic tree maintenance. Our Mission is to increase knowledge of tree care and improve our urban forest in our neighborhoods. Come learn something that you will use for the rest of your life. It's easy learn, easy to do and easy to teach. If we all knew a little more about proper tree care our city trees would have a better chance to survive! We need help spreading the word. This volunteer opportunity you will learn tree care and focus on building that community's volunteer tree care team, by engaging neighbors during our Tree Blitz Evets. Ask neighbors to adopt a tree in our app and remind them to take care of their tree once in a while.

We are in the 9 neighborhoods listed here. Every event is attended by a certified arborist, so you can learn and earn from the best. Earn a Brown Card from our City Forester to become certified to trim city trees on your own and or lead your own Blitz Events.
