Tree Captains are local volunteer leaders working to enhance the health of Treasure Valley neighborhoods through tree planting, advocacy, and stewardship.
Fio, Boise Tree Captain Class of 2024
“The way tree captains facilitate tree planting ensures they’re planted as correctly as possible and will survive long-term. It’s a community effort—neighborhoods coming together to care for each other and the environment. That in itself is such a cool initiative.“
What does a Tree Captain do?
Support your community’s tree planting efforts: City of Boise’s Elaine Clegg City of Trees Challenge and TVCN’s Treasure Valley Tree Equity Project that provide free and discounted trees for homes across the Valley.
Talk to people within your community to identify tree planting sites.
Utilize your training to help participants with selecting the right tree for their home.
Educate tree recipients about young tree care.
Volunteer at spring & fall tree planting events to make sure all trees are delivered and planted.
Serve as a valuable resource to your friends and neighbors in planting and caring for new trees.
Join TVCN at public outreach events to help educate the public.
Have fun!
