Join The Piedmont Environmental Council for a Plantings for the Piedmont volunteer tree planting on Saturday, October 25th, at the Courts of St. Francis neighborhood in Purcellville, VA. Volunteers are needed for one morning shift. Together, we will plant approximately 75 native trees and shrubs in support of this residential community's commitment to protect the Purcellville waterways that flow into the Potomac Watershed and ultimately to the Chesapeake Bay.
Volunteer activities include tree planting, which involves scalping (removing grass with a hoe), digging holes, planting, and pounding wooden stakes. We also need 1 photographer to document our success.
