This position will research permits, contact permit holders, and visit sites to determine if trees were planted as required.

Urban Forestry gives away free trees for planting in yards at large events each fall. These positions will support all aspects of the Yard Tree Giveaway program. In summer, trees from past events will be visited and monitored to assess tree health, planting, and survival. In fall, event preparation for 2020 giveaways will include event organization, registration support, and customer service. This position represents the program to the public, works closely with volunteers and tree recipients, and is responsible for collecting and managing tree data.
