be a volunteer: vocational forester
help us "green" Fort Worth

become a vocational forester

The Vocational Forester program is available to schools that are willing to schedule a minimum of 6 sessions throughout the school year.  The dates & times are established between the school & Forestry.  Vocational Forester volunteers will receive hands-on training & field work experience that goes more in-depth than the Volunteer Forester program.  Students will build upon what they learn from the previous sessions.

Volunteer projects & locations will be determined based upon need & projects.  Some possible locations would include the Rolling Hills Tree Farm, local parks & neighborhoods.

 

Possible projects might be collecting seeds from trees in parks, planting trees in parks or along neighborhood streets, watering & mulching trees in parks, surveying park & street trees, conducting nursery operations at the tree farm, or representing Forestry at special events to educate the public about the importance of trees.
