Are you passionate about trees and want to grow the urban forest? Join LEAF for one of our Volunteer Orientations to discover how you can lend a helping hand!

During this interactive virtual session, participants will learn about the LEAF mission, our programs and the different volunteer roles that LEAF offers.

We invite you to register for one of our upcoming Virtual Orientations through the links below and join the LEAF volunteer community this year!

• Saturday, August 29 Virtual Volunteer Orientation (10:30am to 11:30am)
• Wednesday, September 16 Virtual Volunteer Orientation (6:30pm to 7:30pm)

If neither of the above dates works for you, please be aware that our next orientation will not be until early spring in 2027. 

During the interactive session, you will learn how to support your local environment by getting involved with LEAF programs in Toronto, York Region, and Durham Region. Together, we will explore the many volunteer opportunities available so that you can find the best fit for your skills, interested and availability. Opportunities include:

• Getting your hands dirty as a Community Tree Planting Volunteer
