Volunteer with ReGreen Springfield
Join hundreds of Springfield residents who are making a real difference — one tree at a time. No experience needed, just a willingness to dig in.
Why Volunteer?
ReGreen Springfield depends on community volunteers to plant trees, care for young trees, conduct citizen science surveys, and engage neighbors in the urban forestry mission. Whether you have an afternoon or a whole season to give, there's a role for you.
Ways to Get Involved
Tree Planting Events
Join our seasonal planting crews to plant trees in parks, schoolyards, and along Springfield streets. Events are held in spring and fall — no experience required.
Tree Stewardship
Adopt a newly planted tree near your home or workplace. Stewards water, mulch, and monitor young trees to help them survive their critical first years.
Citizen Science Surveys
Help us document Springfield's urban forest using iNaturalist and other tools. Survey trees, identify species, and contribute data that guides our planting priorities.
Community Outreach
Help us spread the word at neighborhood events, farmers markets, and community meetings. Share information about tree benefits and connect residents with planting programs.
Youth & School Programs
Support environmental education in Springfield schools and youth programs. Help students learn about trees, ecology, and how to care for their urban forest.
Administrative & Skills-Based
Contribute your professional skills — graphic design, photography, writing, data analysis, or event planning — to support ReGreen Springfield's programs and communications.
