At level 6, you can join a clan. At level 10, you can found your own clan. To found a clan or shop around for a clan to join, click the totem that appears at the base of the tree on the main screen. The benefits of a clan are you can participate in clan league event and get help with your tree during the Tree Healing Event.
Searching for a clan to join[]
Click on the green Yes button to apply to a clan. It pays to research a bit here first. Click the clan you are interested in and then click the members to see their last login time. This way you know which clans are active. You can flip through the availible clans using the arrow buttons below the list.
Try sending a friend request to the chief of the tribe, so they know who you are. You can also message the chief of a clan if you are particularly interested in their clan. Spots in the larger clans are more difficult to get than the smaller clans due to the better rewards and increased tree healing help. Different clans will have different personalities, some are competitive, some are casual, some have membership rules and others are just a collection of rogues. Choose one that best suits your play style. You can view the leading clans by clicking on the Clan League button on the left of your Level Assistant at the top of your game. The list will appear blank, but you can use the arrows to page over until the clans show.
Clan Settings[]
Once you are in a clan, you can use the clan totem to interact with your clanmates and manage your settings. When you first click on the totem, you'll be taken to the bulletin board and scoreboard. Post messages on the bulletin board if you want everyone in your clan to see them. On the left, you'll see a list of all the current members of your clan along with how many dragons they've raised and whether or not they're signed up for and participating in the clan event. At the bottom left, you'll see the settings button, which will open up the clan settings.
Manage Members[]
This menu shows all members of the clan, including those who have recently left. You can see each member's join date, level, and XP, and you can check to see who your clan leader is (written in yellow) and the right hand (written in orange). If you are a clan leader, you can use this menu to manage permissions and kick members from the clan.
Clan League Rewards[]
If you do not want to always receive dragon orchids as your clan league reward, select a different dragon flower here.
Leaving a Clan[]
As a clan leader, you'll be notified if a member leaves
There are two ways to leave a clan. You can leave intentionally, or if you are inactive for 30 days, your account will hibernate, and you will be automatically booted from a clan.
If you are a clan leader, you will receive a notification id one of your clan members has been inactive and will be booted soon. This way, you can start advertising for a replacement.
Perhaps you are still an active player but your clan just doesn't seem to be a good fit. This is fine. You don't even have to explain yourself, although your clan leader might appreciate if you give a bit of warning before leaving. To leave, simply open the clan menu, select "settings" at the bottom right, and click "leave" in the appropriate box. You'll be taken to a confirmation page where you'll have to enter your password. This is your login password. Once you have left a clan, you are free to immediately join another, but if you decide you want to go back to your original clan, you must wait 14 days.
Tree Points[]
Take a look in this menu to see how many tree points each player has earned during tree healing events since joining the game and calculate how many more points you'll need to add another member to your clan. For more on this, see Increasing the Size of Your Clan blow.
Founding Your Own Clan[]
If you are not currently in a clan, you can form a new clan at any time. It will cost a few water lilies to do this.
Consider your clan name and clan acronym with some care. You will want them to be searchable and odd characters may make that more difficult. Don't forget to set up your clan description and your clan advert if you want to attract members to your clan. You can find these by clicking the clan totem then clicking the settings button on the bottom left of the clan pop up.
Clan League Events[]
Your clan will be assigned a league every other Tuesday to compete in. The number of dragons successfully launched determines your clans placement at the end of the 2 week timeframe. You can earn Moon Mice, Crystals, Dragon Plants and possibly water lilies if you are in the first 4 leagues. Don't forget to change the dragon flower in your clan settings if you do not always want dragon orchids.
Clan Competitions[]
If you are in a clan, you can also compete with your clanmates in the clan event.
Increasing the Size of Your Clan[]
The starting size of a newly minted clan is 5 members. Each additional member requires the accumulation of tree points. Your clan earns tree points every time a member defeats the shadow in a Tree Healing Event. When a certain number of points have accumulated, you can add more members to your clan.

Q&A[]
Q. What are the symbols next to clan member's names in the Clan menu? 
A. There are two sets of symbols. One is a number next to a dragon head, which, as you've likely guessed, represents how many dragons that player has raised since the last clan league classification. The other is a round symbol that is either gray or 4 colors. This symbol shows members of your clan whether or not you've signed up for the current or next clan event. If there is no circle, this player is not signed up. If the symbol is gray, the player is signed up but has not placed any critters on their island in the Clan Event. If the symbol is four colors, the player is signed up and actively participating in the clan event, thus earning element points.
