About this Event
ForestPlanet supports high-volume forest restoration projects around the world to the tune of 1.5 million trees planted to date. We also like to get our hands dirty supporting other tree projects where we can, especially in our own back yard, i.e. Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC. We're big fans of the ongoing Peirce Mill demonstration orchard project, and we've written about it here.
Saturday April 27th is a volunteer day down at the Orchard and you're invited to join us!
Volunteers are needed to:
- Spread mulch around the apple and pear trees
- Remove vines and invasive species
- Plant cover crops
- Attend to other minor landscaping tasks.
Come out and get dirty!
What to bring: We will be working outside in variable weather conditions; please wear adequate sun protection and appropriate clothing for the weather. Gardening tools will be provided, but volunteers are asked to bring a pair of gloves. Please remember a water bottle, and snacks if you'd like them. There are restrooms and a waterbottle-refilling station nearby.
RSVPs are appreciated so we know how many tools to bring. Thank you for the consideration and we'll see you then and there!
