This is the biggest NTD celebration yet, with planting events taking place across the country on both the Wednesday and Saturday of National Forest Week.
Join us to plant trees in your community and connect with nature. Volunteers will participate in planting 650 native trees and shrubs to help expand the forested area on the property.

We’ll also provide gloves and shovels! This event is completely FREE!
How you'll be making an impact
This site is part of a multi-year restoration plan aimed at increasing natural cover, wildlife diversity, and ecosystem health. Planting projects will help expand and improve the forest edge, restore old agricultural fields, and create new wildlife habitats. They will enhance these areas by increasing natural cover and supporting a diverse range of species. Many of the native shrubs to be planted at this event are flowering, offering essential forage and habitat for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.
