Volunteer Forester Spring Session

Volunteer Forester Spring Session

Ready to deepen your knowledge of trees and serve as a leader in Knoxville’s urban forest? Our Spring Volunteer Forester Program provides hands-on training led by local experts and certified arborists, combining classroom learning with practical, outdoor experience.

Classes meet on Wednesday evenings in April (April 1, 8, 15, & 22) from 6:00–8:30 PM and include both indoor and outdoor instruction.

Participants gain practical skills in tree identification, care, and community engagement—preparing them to take on leadership roles at tree planting and care events and to serve as trusted urban forestry stewards.

To earn the Volunteer Forester Certificate, participants will:

  • Complete at least 80% of all classes
  • Volunteer and lead at Trees Knoxville events
