Our Volunteer Opportunities
The Alliance is looking for a limited number of volunteers to help with the three Tree Distributions on Saturday, February 12, Saturday, February 26th and Saturday, March 12 from 8:00 am until all trees are given away (12 noon latest)!
Activities may include carrying trees to their cars; giving directions for parking; overseeing volunteer tent with sign-ins; helping with registration; talking to people in line as they wait to receive trees; taking photos; giving out tree planting instructions; bringing trees for people waiting; referring people to Arborists in red vests who can help them decide on their trees; and representing the Alliance, in general.
More details will be emailed to volunteers closer to the event
Celebration of Tu BiShvat
In celebration of Tu BiShvat, or the "Birthday of The Trees", a ceremonial planting of four trees was held at Wallace Park by the Alliance for Cape Fear Trees on Wednesday, January 19. The planting was generously funded by ACFT Board Member, Dr. Martin Meyerson and led the Bnai Israel and Temple of Israel Hebrew School students.
Sunset Park Planting Fun!

Trees provide aesthetic value and cultural identity to the area and are essential in:
-
preserving local ecosystems

managing storm water
-
creating shade
-
reducing air pollution
-
providing physical and mental health benefits
