Volunteers wanted!
On November 7th and 8th, we'll work together to make Amsterdam greener, more biodiverse, and more climate-resilient. During this two-day green event, we'll dig out the small trees from the Birthday Forest and distribute them to Amsterdammers.
Volunteer!
Will you help?
Tree digging
Together with Trees for All, we’ll be working with around 150 volunteers to remove 7,500 small trees from the pallet boxes of the Birthday Forest (Verjaardagbos) and sort them. No tree knowledge required – just a healthy dose of energy and a can-do attitude!
