Weyerhaeuser cuts these trees from young forests during normal thinning operations. Thinning promotes a healthy vigorous forest by removing trees that compete against each other for light, nutrients, and water.

Setup Fun Begins With Tree Pickup Day!
Join the group of able-bodied volunteers to head up into the woods to load trees from Weyerhaeuser Forests. Volunteers load trees into large farming dump trucks by walking behind the trucks and handing the trees up to volunteers who stack them. The trees are pre-cut and lying beside the road, so we never need to leave the logging roads.
Volunteers may choose to drive themselves or carpool. Workers should be dressed for cold and wet weather including sturdy work shoes or boots. Gloves, safety goggles, and some rain gear are provided.
Volunteers are taken care of! The day starts with a complimentary breakfast at a local restaurant at about 7:30 a.m. and includes light refreshment after the trees are loaded.
Tree Pickup is limited to 16 people. Families are welcome to volunteer, however those under 16 years of age must have adult supervision.
Pre-registration and scheduling required to participate.
Contact us if you have any questions about volunteering!
Adults: Please turn in a Volunteer Policy and Injury Release to be kept on file in our system. We can provide a copy for you to sign when you arrive if you have not already turned one in.
Minors, which include any volunteers under the age of 18, require a completed Parent/Guardian Release Form.
