Volunteer with Savannah Tree

Actively support the Savannah Tree Foundation’s mission for a greener community! Discover how you can make a tangible impact as a foundation member, volunteer, or donor.  Together, let’s sow the seeds for a sustainable future. Join the Savannah Tree Foundation and play a crucial role in nurturing our community.

 

Volunteering with Savannah Tree Foundation is a fun and fulfilling way to learn about Chatham County’s trees and give back to our community. Volunteers are crucial to our ability to plant and maintain trees–we’d love your help!

 

Our tree planting volunteer opportunities align with Coastal Georgia’s tree planting season, October to March. We may have additional, non-planting volunteer opportunities at other times of the year. All ages welcome! Children under 15 years of age require a parent or guardian present.
