About this Event
Disclaimer: Please arrive ON TIME to check in and attend the planting demostration in order to properly transplant our Bare Roots!
A bare root tree is a dormant tree shipped to us with exposed roots and without soil. We need your help planting them in pots. Care for the urban forest by potting trees with us!
No experience is neccesary, just a willingness to work together!
