2026 Community Forester Workshop Registration

Become a Community Forester for your neighborhood! 
In our harsh Denver climate, healthy trees require proper care. Become a Community Forester to learn how to tend trees in your neighborhood. Join a team that’s passionate about rolling up our sleeves and greening our communities. 

Please use this form to register for the workshops you are interested in. 

Scholarships and Your Valuable Volunteer Time: The Community Forester program is actively seeking to expand and diversify in every neighborhood in Denver. We don't want cost to be a barrier. If you want to learn about tree care to help take care of trees in your neighborhood, then please consider applying for the Sue Cannon Scholarship. In return, we ask for your volunteer time with us, the city, or with our Community Connectors, caring for and growing your neighborhood forest.

We know you'll love becoming a part of this tree-loving community!
