CommuniTree Stewards

Learn how to prune, plant, maintain and identify our community trees!
Join other stewards in ensuring a healthy urban forest in Onondaga County.

Since 2002 CommuniTree Stewards have given thousands of volunteer hours to prune and care for over 3,700 trees and plant over 1,800 trees in our parks and neighborhoods. But we need more help. Sign up today!

Stewards learn through hands-on instruction in:

  • tree biology
  • planting
  • pruning
  • follow-up care
  • species identification
  • common tree problems

And in exchange they volunteer by signing up for planting, pruning, mulching and other projects throughout the year.

Why volunteer?

  • Trees in developed environments need extra care to survive and thrive
  • Trees provide many health, community, economic and environmental benefits
  • Volunteering has a meaningful and positive impact on your community

The next session begins in the April 6, 2011. Registration materials will be sent to interested participants in March. Contact us for details: David Skeval, (315)424-9485 ext 231 or das546@cornell.edu To see or print a program brochure click here.
