Help Grow Greeley's Urban Forest

Volunteer Opportunities to Grow and Care for Greeley's Trees

Want to make a direct impact on Greeley's urban forest? Our new Urban Forest Strategic Plan identifies five ways residents can volunteer to support tree planting, monitoring, and education:

Tree Detectives: Use a simple app to walk neighborhoods and record tree health. Help us prioritize which trees need care first. This app is perfect for anyone who enjoys walking outdoors—no tree expertise required!

Backyard Forest Scout: Survey trees on private properties to track pests like emerald ash borer before they spread throughout our community.

Natural Areas Explorers: Catalog trees in Greeley's wild spaces to help manage wildfire risk and promote healthy ecosystems.

Tree Growth Trackers: Check on newly planted Share the Shade trees to ensure they thrive and receive proper care.

Welcome Ambassadors: Help create resources for new Greeley residents about tree care and local tree programs.

All training provided—no experience necessary! These volunteer roles directly support the goals of our 20-year Urban Forest Strategic Plan to expand tree canopy, increase species diversity, and build a healthier, more resilient community.
