PHS Tree Hub

Need help with your next planting? Register your planting event and request volunteer advertisement through PHS. Your event will be posted on our Tree Program's  Get Involved page  indicating your need for volunteers.  

For our tips on hosting a volunteer planting, check out the  Organizing a Community Planting Checklist or Training resources/sessions

Registration, Waivers & Policies

PHS requires your Tree Tenders planting event volunteers to acknowledge the PHS Volunteer Waiver (all documents are listed on the right).   This can be done in advance using our volunteer registration system VolunteerHub (more info below).

PHS Youth Volunteer Policies

  • Depending on location, volunteers ages 8 through 13 are welcome to volunteer with us given a signed waiver from their legal guardian and accompaniment by their guardian for the duration of the volunteer shift. 

  • Volunteers ages 14 through 17 may volunteer without a parent/guardian/group leader. A guardian must sign the PHS Volunteer Waiver on their behalf. This can be done through VolunteerHub.
