Tree Planting at Harambee Park – May 20

I am volunteering to assist Speak for the Trees (SFTT). I have volunteered my time and services because of my support for SFTT’s work in Boston, and my desire to participate actively in the furtherance of their work. I understand that my activities as a volunteer entail a risk of physical injury or death and that I may be exposed to hazards arising from vehicular travel, use of tools and equipment, and strenuous manual labor. I further understand that accidents or injuries may occur in locations or under circumstances where medical attention is not readily available.

I expressly assume all risks associated with or arising from my volunteer activities. Because the assertion of claims against SFTT for personal injury occurring during my volunteer service would be antithetical to my support of SFTT and the local partners and their goals and would reduce their ability to accomplish their charitable purposes, I grant this release.

I agree to abide by all rules and regulations of Speak for the Trees regarding safety and use of all equipment.

On behalf of myself, my estate and the personal representative thereof, my heirs and assigns, I hereby forever release SFTT and their officers, directors, employees and agents, from any and all costs, claims, losses, liabilities or damages arising from or in any way related to, my service as a volunteer. I intend this release to be effective, regardless of whether the claim of liability is asserted in negligence, strict liability in tort, or other theory of recovery. For myself, my estate and the personal representative thereof, my heirs and assigns, I covenant and agree to make no claim, nor to institute any suit, action or proceeding against SFTT and their officers, directors, employees and agents, relating to any accident, incident or occurrence arising out of, or in connection with, my volunteer activities.
