Volunteers will help move trees into place, will prepare the root balls, will place trees in pre-dug holes, fill in the holes with excess dirt, and spread native wood chip mulch. The City Forester will instruct the group on techniques for proper tree planting. We will provide shovels, gloves, water, snacks, and smiles. Please remember to:

  • Long pants and long-sleeved shirts to protect your skin from scratches and insect bites.
  • Layers of clothing appropriate for the weather conditions.
  • A hat or cap to protect your head and face from the sun.

Bring

  • A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
  • Sunscreen and bug spray
  • Snacks if you’re a snack-y person
  • A positive attitude

#GivingTuesday2025 is just around the corner, and we get it โ€“ there are so many wonderful local nonprofits seeking support this time of year!

Why include Roger Williams Park Conservancy in your giving plan? 

Behind the more than 50 free and low-cost programs hosted every year, the restoration of beloved historic structures still playing a role in the community today, and the expansive green spaces and waterways sustaining humans and wildlife alike, there are crucial partnerships and much hard work that goes into stewarding Roger Williams Park.

As Board Member Chris Lanen shares โ€“ and so many families can relate to! โ€“ "the Park provides [a] retreat into nature. Individually, it gives me a place to exercise and decompress. As a parent, it gives my child a magical place to play, explore, and learn throughout the year.โ€

Find the link to donate in our bio, with options for one-time or recurring gifts!

We would love to hear what youโ€™re thankful for about Roger Williams Park โ€“ is it a favorite piece of architecture or a serene place to retreat into nature? A favorite event or family outing thatโ€™s become a tradition? Let us know!
