Join City of Vancouver’s team for a volunteer opportunity to learn the essential skills of pruning fruit trees and work alongside our expert Urban Forestry team. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting, this hands-on event is designed to teach you summer pruning techniques, helping to ensure the health and vitality of our urban forest. Then join us again later this summer for a volunteer work party to harvest the delicious fruit that’s grown from these trees you’ve helped nurture! These events are a fantastic way to gain valuable knowledge, connect with nature, and give back to your community.

• Training, gloves, tools, water, and snacks will be provided.

• This opportunity is family-friendly and great for teens. Youth under 18 must bring a signed minor consent form.

• Volunteers should dress for the weather and wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.

• There will be a space in the RSVP form for you to let us know if there are any accessibility needs you have.
