Tree Buds Citizen Forester Orientation
Ready to make a lasting impact on San Antonio’s urban forest? Become a Tree Steward! Join us for the orientation session for the Tree Buds Citizen Forester Program.
This hands-on volunteer program is made possible by the Alamo Forest Partnership, San Antonio Arborists Association, and Bexar Branches Alliance, with support from the City of San Antonio Office of Sustainability. Together, we are empowering citizens to help our city’s young trees thrive.
We train volunteers in proper pruning techniques to improve the health and structure of newly planted trees across our community’s public spaces, including city parks, historic cemeteries, and along creekways. This essential care ensures their survival and long-term growth, directly supporting the city’s sustainability, beautification, and canopy goals.
What You’ll Do:
- Learn the “why” behind pruning and how it benefits our urban canopy in diverse ecosystems.
- Get hands-on training with proper tools and techniques from certified arborists.
- Connect with a community of like-minded volunteers.
- Directly contribute to the health and resilience of San Antonio’s vital green spaces.
This orientation is your first step to joining our monthly volunteer sessions, which run on the first Saturday of each month from October through May. No prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to learn and help!
Spots are limited. Registration is required. Please sign up to receive full details and confirm your attendance.
