How You Can Help
Join the campaign by taking photographs of and gathering information about the majestic trees that you live by, walk by and enjoy. Then share them with us. We will count them!
We welcome you to contact The Last 6000 Campaign for additional suggestions about submitting this valuable information about our majestic trees. We can work with the level of technology with which you feel most comfortable.
If you would like to join us as a volunteer, please contact the campaign. We will design something with you that fits the time and your schedule.
Instructions and Guidelines for Volunteers
Volunteering is simple. Take photographs with a camera or smartphone, collect data and complete the input form to submit your tree capture to The Last 6000 Action Database. If possible, to help us identify the species of your tree, get a photograph of the leaves or needles and the whole tree.
We ask you to provide your best estimation of the tree's trunk diameter at breast height (DBH), species and current health. For tools and information to help in making a good estimation, check out the buttons below.

Tips for Trees on Private Property
It is considered trespassing to enter private property without the permission of the person living there. So, we recommend that you don’t enter private property to photograph or measure a tree’s diameter without speaking to the owner first. You should feel free however, to take a photograph of a majestic tree on private property from a public space like a sidewalk, street or public alley.
If you find you have questions or would like to talk with us about volunteering. Get in touch. We’d be happy to talk with you!
