About this Event
Join us to help plant more trees at the New Joseph Bonnheim Community Charter School! We provide all the necessary tools and supplies to plant and 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.
Who should attend?
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.
