Getting started?
Read through our PLANNING AHEAD guidelines for a GREAT ARBOR DAY PROJECT.
From parking to porta-lets, be sure to go through the ADOS Project Checklist to leave no detail overlooked.
Consider collecting volunteer waivers onsite. The Town of Framingham has provided a sample document here.
SHAMELESSLY MARKET YOURSELF!
MAA recommends using these documents to publicize your participation in Arbor Day of Service!
Sample Press Release: consider sending a press release before and after volunteering on Arbor Day. Including photos will help your submission get noticed! Send the press release well in advance of Arbor Day - the newspaper deadlines come up fast!
Sample Media Advisory: invite the press to check out your crew volunteering on an Arbor Day of Service project.
Sample Opinion Editorial: reach out to your local papers to promote Arbor Day of Service and our mission.
