GET INVOLVED
THE URBAN FOREST DEPENDS ON YOU
The Importance of Community
Being a tree in the city is not easy, which is why we need the whole community (including you!) to care for the trees of our urban forest.
PNPP offers a wide range of ways for community members to help in the stewardship of the urban forest. See the descriptions below to find the best ways for you to join us in our mission.
Where Do I Fit In?
We know everyone has different capacities. Land access, time available, physical ability, and scheduling all affect the ways in which we can be involved in our community. Whatever your capacity, our volunteers and engaged community members love connecting with each other and helping Providence become greener!
Below you’ll find some ways in which Providence residents work with us, we hope you find something that fits your desires!
