Volunteers
Green-Up is blessed with incredible volunteers. These active, engaged citizens are as inspiring to us as we hope we are to them. If you care to join us, here's what you'll learn:
- Tree Identification
- Measuring and Mapping techniques,
- Tree Conditions & Health.
We'll provide you with reference materials for learning at home, and hands-on training in the field during the inventories. Our veteran volunteers love to share their knowledge and help to teach newcomers.

Conducting Neighbourhood Forest Inventories:
Building Urban Forest Stewardship
Through this volunteer-based
tree inventory, Peterborough Green-Up facilitates an active learning environment where interested participants teach each other tree ID, mapping & measuring techniques, and urban forest stewardship strategies (It's a lot of fun too!) Through volunteer and homeowner interactions Green-Up is raising awareness of the benefits of trees in the city, and encourages homeowners and the City of Peterborough to help create a healthier urban environment. By volunteering with this inventory, you are helping Green-Up inspire neighbourhood forest stewardship at the community level.
