Join The Piedmont Environmental Council and Friends of the Rappahannock for a volunteer tree planting on Tuesday, October 28th, at The Ecovillage of Loudoun County in Lovettsville, VA. Volunteers are needed for two shifts, morning and afternoon. Together, we will plant approximately 220 native trees and shrubs to enhance the "common land" stewarded by this rural community just a few miles from the Potomac River.
Volunteer activities include tree planting, which involves scalping (removing grass with a hoe), digging holes, planting, and pounding wooden stakes. If you sign up for an afternoon shift, an additional activity might include quality control checks of the planted areas, watering newly planted trees, or similar tasks. We also need 1 photographer for each shift to document our success.
