Be part of the solution to climate change!

This first stage requires identification of available planting sites. Heartland Tree Alliance offers a wonderful opportunity to be part of this ambitious, important effort. Driving is not required to complete this project. This can be done on a volunteer’s own time or organized as a special group workday.

Overall Experience
Their treekeeper training is quite thorough, well scheduled and events working with the local governments have been fun, pragmatic and well planned.

First of all, they had a wonderful 6 week course that consisted of one class a week for 2 hours in the evening. It also had two hands on sessions because it's hard to teach you about trees when you're sitting in a class room. That was the training. Using the training has been a joy as well. It's nice to actually get out and do something about climate change instead of listening to others debate the solutions on the radio and TV. The events are well planned out, they start on time and they have the tools on hand if you need to borrow them and the government people are there to help and thank you for your time. It's pretty cool.
