Volunteering as a business
Teamwork means more trees
If you are interested in supporting your employees to take action, whether that’s tree planting or woodland management, then we can help. By volunteering with us you will be taking action for the environment whilst spending a day with your team in nature developing new skills.
“We absolutely loved spending the day with City of Trees. We helped to plant 250 trees in Bolton. If you are looking to support Greater Manchester community and sustainability look no further. It’s also a fantastic team day out (a cup of tea and a giant bucket of free biscuits under the rain shelter was bliss between the hard work)” – Form Property
Part of a smaller group?
If you have a smaller group of employees (around six people or less) looking to get involved in volunteering with City of Trees, then we’d recommend joining us at one of our public events. We have a range of activities running across the region, for all the details and to book, visit our events page.
Frequently asked questions
We provide all of the tools and materials you’ll need, including gloves. There will be a briefing at the start of the day so you don’t need to prepare anything in advance.
We usually go ahead whatever the weather, we would only reschedule in extreme circumstances. If it’s really bad we will make a judgement call the day before or on the day of the event.
Go for clothes that you don’t mind getting muddy, as well as sturdy closed-toed shoes or boots. You’ll be working in long grasses and vegetation so you’ll want to be protected against this. Check the forecast but come prepared for the weather to change – this is Manchester after all!
