STREET TREE ENTHUSIASTS
…mostly volunteers, join them for good company
Volunteering has been the lifeblood of Street Trees for Living since 2011, and it can still start for anyone RIGHT HERE! Volunteers made it all happen and to a huge degree still do. They take roles ranging from trustee to tree waterer, sponsor to street rep. Over the years many volunteers have been willing to chat about themselves. On this page you can read pieces based on conversations with STfL Co-Founder Dom Eliot.
All the pieces were originally in our monthly e-newsletter. You can join the mailing list at the bottom of this page. If you know of someone who might like to discuss being a Street Tree Enthusiast of the Month please email dom@streettreesforliving.org
