Our volunteer planting events bring community members together, acting as environmental stewards by planting trees to help increase our urban canopy. Planting events also offer great team building for companies and organizations. Previous planting groups have expressed a sense of pride and satisfaction from their hard work and often come back to plant in future years.

Groups will work together alongside City of Calgary Parks and Open Spaces team members to plant trees and will learn proper planting techniques and tree care.

Planting events are seasonal from May to October and typically take around 3-4 hours. 

2026 volunteer tree plantings are now complete. Please check back in spring 2027 for next season's volunteer planting opportunities.
