Overview
Join to apply for the
STL_NF Tree Blitz and Community Engagement
role at
STL Neighborhood Foresters . Our mission is to empower residents to make STL a better place to live by improving our tree canopy. In the unforgiving urban environment, simple issues can become death sentences for trees. Many urban trees decline before maturity; climate change adds even more stress. Growing the canopy requires we improve trees’ living conditions and address causes of premature decline, a task too big for Forestry to tackle alone. Our new program, Neighborhood Foresters, partners with the Forestry Division to provide residents gear, training and official permission to help care for city trees. It is our eventual goal to expand Neighborhood Foresters throughout the City of St. Louis and beyond. Communities will benefit most if we work together to improve our urban forestry efforts across the STL metro region. We are excited to build community partnerships and demonstrate to residents ways we can support them in creating healthier, happier communities. Blitz are monthly tree-care events in your community to learn and get hands on practice on basic tree maintenance. Our Mission is to increase knowledge of tree care and improve our urban forest in our neighborhoods. Come learn something that you will use for the rest of your life. It\'s easy learn, easy to do and easy to teach. If we all knew a little more about proper tree care our city trees would have a better chance to survive! We need help spreading the word. This volunteer opportunity you will learn tree care and focus on building that community\'s volunteer tree care team, by engaging neighbors during our Tree Blitz Evets. Ask neighbors to adopt a tree in our app and remind them to take care of their tree once in a while. Program details include:
