Please attend our Spring Planting Day!

We will have 37 trees to plant. 35 are thanks to Allegheny County’s TreeVitalize Program, and 2 are memorial trees.

When: April 5, 2014 10 am – 1 pm

Where: Park at the boathouse parking area in North Park. Register at Harmony or Latrobe shelter (Please check our website or Facebook page for updates to the meeting place or registration).

What: To start us off, there will be a little music, provided by Mr. Koichiro Suzuki, of the River City Brass Band, a speech, and a planting demonstration. There will also be a raffle, including a $500 discount coupon for roundtrip to Japan through Chicago courtesy of ANA (All Nippon Airways) and the Japan Association of Greater Pittsburgh.

Besides planting, we will spread mulch, water trees, and install deer-protection fences, so we can use volunteers of all strengths!

What to bring: We have some equipment, but if you can, please bring a shovel, gloves, your own water bottle, etc. Work boots are recommended. If you have a Sakura Project T-shirt, please wear it.

With so many trees, we need many volunteers! Please contact Yoko Motoyama (yokohm@gmail.com) to sign up.
