  • Volunteer with Us: Shade Tree Distribution at San Tan Corporate

    • Sat, November 08, 2025

    • 3100 W Ray Rd Chandler, AZ 85226

    To sign up to volunteer for this event, click here. 

    These events are volunteer-powered! We couldn't do it without our incredible volunteers!

    Trees Matter is in need of several volunteers to help with distributing about 1,000 desert-adapted shade trees to SRP participants. Over the course of the winter months, SRP participants attended virtual tree care workshops, and selected 2 shade trees that they would receive once the weather was more suitable for planting. They will arrive in the drive thru we set up to pick-up their trees between 8am-2:00pm. We need lots of help to ensure the day runs smoothly!

    You can read about each of the roles in the sign-up below, and sign up directly for whichever sounds like the best fit for you. Roles range from customer service to more physically active roles!

    Our Volunteer Manager will send out an email of additional details, well before the event.
