Apply now for our fall 2026 training program to become a Tree Steward and aid our urban trees. The deadline for applications is July 26th: Fall 2026 Tree Stewards Training Application

Tree Stewards of Arlington and Alexandria (TSAA) are trained volunteers who care for urban trees on public and private property and teach others through educational programs, tree plantings, and tree maintenance. You do not need to be a resident of Arlington or Alexandria to be a member. All are welcome to apply for the training program. Volunteer work may be performed in DC, Maryland, or Virginia.   

Once you complete the training program, you will be expected to participate in volunteer events or perform other volunteer service.  Examples of volunteer opportunities include (but are not limited to) –

  • Planting, pruning, mulching, and watering street and park trees;
  • Advising private property owners on tree selection;
  • Staffing informational booths at farmers’ markets and local festivals; 
  • Leading neighborhood tree walks or speaking at community gatherings;
  • Removing invasive vines and plants that threaten trees;
  • Supporting administrative tasks such as writing blog articles and maintaining data and other records.

Each Tree Steward trainee makes a commitment to perform 20 volunteer hours (30 during your first-year’s internship) in local Tree Steward projects and 8 hours of continuing education annually.

More information can be found on the Fall 2026 Training page.

Ready to join us? Complete our application by July 26th.
