Come Join the Work.
Restoring a landscape takes more than planting trees. It takes students willing to learn, teachers willing to try something new, families willing to show up and community partners willing to share what they have.
You don’t need any experience, and you don’t need to take on more than you can. Come see what fits.
There’s a Place for You in This Project
Restoring landscapes takes more than planting trees. It takes students eager to learn, teachers willing to try something new, families ready to get involved and community partners willing to share what they have.
There are many ways to be part of the Legacy Tree Project. Find the one that’s right for you.
Families & Volunteers
Join students and Natural Restorations in the field. Help move trees, carry water, prepare planting sites and take part in restoring native habitat.
Join Us November 14, 2026
Volunteer with Natural Restorations for the Save Our Saguaros replanting event and the Legacy Tree Project’s first planting of 150 student-grown ironwood trees at Four Peaks in Tonto National Forest.
Schools & Educators
Bring environmental learning into the classroom through native tree growing, scientific observation and opportunities for students to contribute to real restoration work.
Businesses & Community Partners
Support the people, materials and opportunities that make student-led restoration possible. From classroom growing supplies to planting day resources, community support helps turn learning into action.
Support Restoration
Help sustain the restoration work taking place beyond the classroom. Learn how Natural Restorations is returning native plants to Arizona’s landscapes and how you can support that work.
Land & Restoration Partners
Land managers, native plant growers, nurseries, researchers and conservation storytellers. If you work with desert land or native plants, we would like to hear from you. You may have places that need trees, knowledge we do not have, or an audience that should know this work is happening.
Or email us directly at azplasma@gmail.com.
From Our Classrooms to Four Peaks.
On November 14, 2026, the Legacy Tree Project will join Natural Restorations at Four Peaks in Tonto National Forest to plant our first 150 student-grown ironwood trees.

It’s an opportunity to see how the work that begins in a classroom becomes part of something much larger.

https://legacytreeproject.org/get-involved#registerEvery planting will be monitored for three years.
Planting is the beginning, not the end. Each restoration planting will be monitored for three years to document tree survival, growth and environmental conditions.
Year 1
Trees are grown at the school, then planted. Planting day counts as year one, and we record where, when and how many.
Year 2
Survival checks and watering support will follow through the hottest months as the trees establish.
Year 3
Growth measurements will document how the planting is responding.
Following Years
Trees will transition to independent growth.
Events & Volunteering
There's always something growing at the Legacy Tree Project. Explore upcoming events, join us for a day of learning and restoration, or find a way to get involved. Each attendee, including children, counts as one spot.
November 14 Community Planting at Four Peaks
Come out and support our students as we plant 150 student-grown ironwood trees at Four Peaks. Local sixth grade students have been growing native ironwood trees at their school. On November 14, they will donate 150 of their school-grown trees to be planted at the Bush Fire burn scar in Tonto National Forest. Bring your family, friends or community group and spend the day replanting native trees and giving back to our public lands.

This planting is one of many ways to help.
The Legacy Tree Project is part of Natural Restorations, and the planting at Four Peaks is one of the ways they bring people into restoration work. Natural Restorations offers cleanup days, volunteer events and replanting projects across Arizona, along with ways to support their work. We encourage you to visit their website and explore how you would like to take part.
