Black Forest: Call for volunteers

How can we grow with you? Black Forest thrives thanks to our multi-ethnic, intergenerational community of volunteers, which includes families, students, religious groups, and Greek organizations. We’re looking for more people interested in storytelling, planting and caring for trees, organizing events, transporting trees or people to events, promoting, or sponsoring our efforts.

Please share information about yourself, your capabilities, and resources so we can expand our capacity through mutual aid. You can edit answers after submitting them and skip any questions that aren't applicable or relevant to your land or property. If you have any questions, email us at trees@black-forest.us.

Black Forest is growing a living monument and archive for Black lives by planting over 40,000 trees across all 50 states and abroad and producing a short film series documenting our efforts. In the last few years, we've partnered with local governments, organizations, and communities to plant over 600 trees across 8 states: Michigan, Massachusetts, California, Florida, Missouri, Rhode Island, Washington, and New York. 

This spring and fall planting seasons, we partnered with Bronx is Blooming to plant over 100 4-foot trees (including native species Flowering Dogwood, Pussy Willow, American Holly, and Black Gum) in the South Bronx and Boston Public Art Triennial to plant two 12-foot trees (Red Maple and Japanese Cherry Tree) in Dorchester and Roxbury.

Let us know where you want us to plant next below.
