The Team and Volunteers Behind Our Forests
Nature does the heavy lifting, but it takes human hands to bridge the gap. Meet the people who trade suits for soil to bring our urban forests to life.

About Our Team & Volunteer Heroes
It is not just about digging a pit. When you see our volunteers from Marsh or Amdocs, you see a real shift in mindset. They come for a day, but they learn the rhythm of planting—how to handle a root ball, why native species matter, and how to actually care for a sapling so it stays alive.
More Than Just a Tree Count
We have always said that nature has its own intelligence. Our job is not to boss the plants around, but to give them space to thrive. When we organize a drive with a corporate team or a school group, we do not just hand over a shovel. We teach the 'Green Mindset.'
Our People-Powered Movement
Our work is fueled by two groups of people: the volunteers who step out of their offices to get their hands dirty, and the local community members who stay on the ground to nurture what we plant.
We train local women and field staff to become guardians of these green patches. This is not charity; it is community-driven sustainability. When you bring your team for a plantation drive, you are not just planting a sapling. You are supporting a ecosystem of people who live, breathe, and protect that patch of land every single day.
Learning the Craft
Whether it is the team from Telus collecting seeds at a park, or EXL volunteers learning to mulch, the goal is practical education. We show you how to identify native species, how to prepare the soil, and why a bit of grass on the ground is actually better for the earth than clearing it away. We want you to leave the site not just tired, but with a deeper understanding of the environment right in your city.
Our team—led by guides who have spent years in the field—makes sure that every session is safe, productive, and meaningful. No empty promises, just real work on the ground.
Give Me Trees Trust
I see my work as a movement rather than a job. My team and I are simply the bridge between you and the soil, teaching you how to listen to what nature needs.
