Westside ReLEAF
About this Event
ReLEAF WESTSIDE
100+ Trees. One Day. One Neighborhood.
Saturday, December 5, 2026
Come plant with us, then stay for the party!
Westside is honored to be the first neighborhood to launch ReLEAF, Charleston’s community-led tree planting pilot. On December 5, we’re bringing together neighbors, tree professionals, community partners, and volunteers to plant 100+ trees across Westside in ONE morning!
And because it’s not a Westside volunteer day without a little fun, we’re following it with a huge ReLEAF After Party from 12-3 PM!
ReLEAF AFTER PARTY | 12-3 PM
After volunteering, head to the beautiful Greek Orthodox Church grounds at 30 Race Street for an afternoon of food, drinks, music, shopping, kids activities, and celebrating!
WHAT TO EXPECT
KIDS: Bounce house, inflatable basketball, fairy hair, face painting + more
FOOD + DRINKS: Pizza, beer, beverages + food vendors
SHOP: Farmers market, local makers + holiday vendors
FUN: DJ + activities
ReLEAF: Meet our amazing Tree Partners and local environmental organizations
Bring your friends. Bring the kids. Volunteer in the morning and celebrate with us in the afternoon!
You do not have to volunteer to attend the After Party, so invite your friends and family to meet you there!
WANT TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY?
SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER!
We have lots of space for volunteers and plenty to do beyond planting trees.
Westside will be divided into 10 teams working throughout the neighborhood. Each team will have:
- 1 Tree Captain
- 9 Tree Planters
- Tree experts and community partners
- Additional volunteers helping transform the surrounding blocks
While planting crews get the trees in the ground, other volunteers will help clear sidewalk overgrowth, clean storm drains, clean up and improve verges, tackle litter, and support the planting crews.
Not interested in planting? No problem! There is plenty to do and lots of room for volunteers of different ages and abilities.
Our goal is bigger than planting trees: leave every block better than we found it.
