Welcome to Tent City!

Welcome to tent city!


You'll love your stay! Dig a moat around your tent or it might float away!

My beautiful new tent!
As much as tree planting centers around the obvious, planting trees, probably the most memorable parts of the experience will be at tent city.

At around 5:20am tired souls creep out of their tents, trying to imagine what our fantastic cooks have made them for breakfast!

The mess tent lit up at night
During the day tent city is a ghost town, but at around 6pm we all come dashing back into the mess tent to stuff ourselves again. Chatter about the day happens, one re-connects with friends, chess is played, or cards. Some dash to the hot showers, others figure why bother!

Crew dogs!

We have too much fun unloading garbage at the end of the day!

Nights off are loads of fun! Drinking, dancing, crafting, chilling at the bonfire, or watching movies! When one is tree planting, its really important to have some fun!


Tree planting is unique as it is individual work, but you are also very much a part of the team! I am so thankful for my crew and all the people who make up tent city!
