NOTE: Please use SignUpGenius to sign-up for this event at: Tree Planting at Bonny Brook Farm
Join The Piedmont Environmental Council for a volunteer tree planting at Bonny Brook Farm on Friday, April 8! Volunteers will be needed for one shift, from 10am - 1pm, to help plant 55 native trees and shrubs to enhance water quality and wildlife habitat! We also need one volunteer to help coordinate and check-in other volunteers from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Volunteer activities include tree planting, which involves scalping (removing grass with a hoe), digging holes, planting, and pounding wooden stakes. This is a family-friendly event, and volunteers of all ages are welcome! Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
This event is rain or shine. In the event of dangerous weather, we will reschedule the day’s planting. We will provide all of the necessary tools for planting, extra water, and snacks (no lunch will be provided - please pack your own). Volunteers are encouraged to wear boots or closed-toe shoes and clothing that they’re comfortable getting dirty. Please bring bottled water, sunscreen, and bug spray if needed. Terrain is mostly flat, with approximately a half-mile walk to the planting site.
