We need volunteers to help our environmental restoration staff!
Volunteers and sponsors play a vital role in supporting the health of Heartland Forest’s natural areas! We are looking for hands on support for our environmental projects. Help us remove invasive species, plant native trees and wildflowers, install nest boxes, care for our Community Tree Nursery, and maintain our Butterfly Way Station.

Large Tree Planting
PAST EVENT – see you next spring for 2026 planting dates!
Help us restore part of a field back into forest as we plant large native trees to provide wildlife habitat, forest buffer and shade! We will have the holes already dug but will need help placing the trees in the holes, adding soil, mulching and watering.
