UPCOMING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteer for TreeLC Events on Nov 7, Nov 14 and Dec 5
We’re partnering with Groundwork RI and the South Providence Health Equity Zone to care for our urban forest this fall! Volunteers will help with mulching and tree pit clean up to prepare young street trees in South Providence for winter. All ages and experience level welcome!
We will be holding three events: Nov 7, Nov 14 and Dec 5. Each event runs from 10am-1pm.
Want to help plant trees? Our Saturday Community Planting Days are held in the spring and fall. We’ve wrapped up community plantings for 2026, but check back in early April for our spring 2027 dates!
If you are an organization interested in volunteering as a group, please email us at info@pnpp.org to discuss and coordinate opportunities. / Si pertenece a una organización interesada en colaborar como grupo, envíenos un correo electrónico a info@pnpp.org para hablar de las oportunidades.
What to expect at a PNPP planting:
- When you sign up for a planting, we will email you a couple days before to confirm the meeting time and place.
- We recommend wearing closed-toe shoes, work gloves, and comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a little dirt on.
- Bring your own gardening gloves and tools if you have them. (We will provide tools and clean work gloves but it’s always better to have more!)
- Plantings take place rain or shine, and are only postponed due to severe weather. Cancellations are announced by 3:30 pm the day prior.
Información sobre las siembras:
- La siembra de árboles siguen con lluvia ligera, y solo se pospone debido a tiempo severo. Cancelaciones son anunciadas antes de las 3:30 pm el día anterior.
- Use zapatos con punta cerrada, guantes de trabajo, y ropa cómoda que no le importa ensuciarse un poco.
- Lleva tus propios guantes de jardinería y herramientas (pala, escoba, rastrillo) si los tengas. (Si no, vamos a proveer herramientas y guantes limpios.)
New trees will provide beauty to our streets and help clean and cool our air and water–providing us with critical public health benefits.
Los árboles nuevos van a embellecer la calle y ayudar a limpiar y refrescar el aire.
PNPP Plantings are family friendly: come learn how to plant a street tree, help grow our urban forest, and meet some other tree supporters!
Las siembras de PNPP son adecuadas para toda la familia: ¡ven a aprender cómo plantar un árbol en la calle, ayuda a hacer crecer nuestro bosque urbano y conoce a otros partidarios de los árboles!
