One of TreeProject’s main activities is tree planting. Our tree planting days have spread across Victoria, involving hundreds of volunteers each year. Rural plantings are on private farms, assisting landholders to revegetate their land.

Every planting day needs two supervisors to ensure that the plantings are carried out smoothly, giving the seedlings the highest chance of survival.

TreeProject is looking for several key volunteers with horticulture backgrounds who can take on this role.

This role will involve various locations within 1-2 hours drive around Melbourne. Planting days are held in different locations each time.

Planting days do not occur during school holidays.

Rural planting Team Leader tasks include:

• Attend rural tree planting days during winter and spring
• Assist the landholder in setting out the revegetation site
• Ensure approx 30 volunteers are conducting themselves safely throughout the day
• Induct volunteers on planting techniques and the plan of the planting day to ensure seedlings are being planted correctly
• Liaise with the landholder
• Keep the groups moving on their assigned tasks throughout the day
• Picking up and packing up tools.
