Become a Tree Keeper
Do you want to care for nature, connect with your local community and expand your skills? Then become a Tiny Forest volunteer and join our thriving Tree Keeper network!
Depending on what you are interested in, there are different opportunities to take part in:
- Maintenance (weeding and litter picking in your local Tiny Forest)
- Community engagement (inspire local people to get involved)
- Science (counting butterflies, measuring trees and more!)
You can plan what activities you want to do and how often you want to do them, either on your own or along with your fellow Tree Keepers. Earthwatch will support you with the tools, training and resources needed to make your journey with your Tiny Forest an enjoyable one!
