Join us as we plant trees at Cummings Family Skate & Bike Park
About this Event

Join us to help plant more trees at Cummings Family Skate & Bike Park! Planting more trees in this park will help increase the amount of shaded walkways, create more spaces to picnic under, and will help clean the air and water for years to come!

We provide all the necessary tools and supplies to care for trees. Participants will receive a short, hands-on training on site. After learning the tools and techniques, participants will split up into groups and begin planting trees throughout the site.

To celebrate the new trees at the skatepark, we will be naming each of the trees planted after a legendary skateboarder!

Register now! The week before this event, we will send a logistics and directions email with detailed information about how to get to the site. You will receive this email ONLY if you are signed-up for this planting.


Who should attend?

Anyone, but those who live or work nearby are especially encouraged to attend—including skateboarders and bike riders! This event is open to the general public, you do not need any prior experience to join us and on-site training will be provided. Families with children are welcome.
