For this project, we are looking for adult volunteers* to help students to plant all of those trees!
Work will include:
-Setting out tools
-Watching a demonstration on how to properly plant a tree
-Leading elementary students in the tree planting process.
-Helping students dig their hole, lift their tree, and talking them through the steps for tree planting.
-Staking trees
-Cleaning up tools
Details:
- Each volunteer will be planting 2 trees with 2 different groups of students.
- We will work rain or shine, so be sure to dress for the weather and wear closed-toe shoes.
-Snacks and water will be provided to volunteers. Please bring a reusable water bottle.
-Urban Forestry will have gloves and all the tools needed.
