On Sat. November 2 we will plant 10 trees at our North Park planting site, with the help of many volunteers. We’ll start at 10 am and work for about 2 hours. Meet at our tool shed across from the tennis courts on Tennis Court Rd, and will walk to the planting area, across the foot bridge on Lakeshore Dr. near the Mars Shelter. Refreshments will be served after the work at the Harmony Shelter. Please sign up by email and read the Volunteer Handbook, here. Volunteers must register in advance and sign in upon arrival. Registration is open until the end of Thursday, 10/31/2024.

Here’s a photo of happy volunteers from last year’s planting event.

Work sessions will be from 9 am to ~11 am.
Meet at our equipment storage shed, facing the tennis courts on Tennis Court Rd.
