Every dollar gets its boots wet.
River Tree Volunteers is all-volunteer, so your gift doesn't pay salaries — it buys trash bags, gloves, canoe repairs, trailer fuel, and native plants. We're a 501(c)(3); donations are tax-deductible.
Pick the impact that feels right
Cleanup kit
Helps stock a cleanup day with gloves, grabbers, and heavy-duty trash bags for a whole crew.

Helps put canoes on the water — life vests, paddles, and trailer fuel for family paddle trips.
Give $75Restoration boost
Helps fund native plants, tools, and materials for habitat restoration and trail-building days.
Give $150Amounts are examples — every donation of any size goes into the same river fund and gets used where it's needed most.
You're funding the crew that pulled 8,444 tires
A tire buried in river silt takes a rope, a shovel, three volunteers, and a truck to reach a recycler. Multiply that by 150 a year — plus 32 tons of trash — and you can see why gear wears out.
- Cleanup supplies and disposal costs
