Tree and Landscape Apprentice

3 spring-term positions open (January 2025)

The Tree and Landscape Apprenticeship program was created as part of a growing national environmental justice movement for racial and economic equality.

We are currently looking to identify motivated, hard-working individuals to join our tree installation crew. No landscape experience necessary- training provided. Successful candidates will have a strong willingness to learn new professional skills while working outdoors, as well as an interest in creating positive environmental changes in Greenville County neighborhoods. Apprentices can expect to receive on-the-job training in addition to professional development opportunities and practical life skills.
