About the volunteering opportunity
ForTomorrow creates climate-resilient mixed forests all over Germany. If you're an experienced photographer, you could be of great help making photos of such a site.
Your Tasks
- Check our afforestation map to find a forest near you
- Send us a message to check when would be a good time to visit the site. With one exception, all our sites are easily accessible by road or walking trails.
- Plan your trip, ideally when the light is nice.
- Create a varied series of photos of the site, including detail photos of the saplings and trees. A range of focal lengths can help to create variation between the shots.
- Send us a selection of 5–10 photos in raw format and a confirmation that ForTomorrow can use and publish these without attribution. If you like, we can provide attribution where possible, but as we publish photos on other platforms, sometimes this is out of our control.
As the photos will be used to show how donations to ForTomorrow are effectively used for climate protection, it's important that they look attractive. Having some commercial photography myself, I can tell you these projects can be quite challenging! To a passerby, some of the new sites may look like brownfield plots. Especially in winter, when the saplings have no leaves, they're easy to overlook.

You can do this at any time and in any season, but it's probably easiest when trees have leafs. As, with one exception, all our sites are publicly accessible, you can do this spontaneously without contacting us first too.
