VOLUNTEER WITH TREE NM
Plant trees with Tree New Mexico! Volunteers plant trees with trained Team Leaders. Tree New Mexico provides instructions, tools, maps to the tree planting location, and basic tree planting guidance. At the location, the hole is dug, the tree to be planted and mulch is nearby, and the resident provides a hose and water.
Other volunteer opportunities are also available, such as community engagement, clerical/office work, and, on occasion, helping at the Woodward House tree nursery.
