Join us for a tree planting workday! Tools/instruction will be provided and everyone is welcome. As you prepare for your workday, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Be prepared to get dirty! Wear clothes you are comfortable possibly getting oil-based paints, woodchips, and dirt on. All volunteers at tree planting and pruning projects must wear closed-toe shoes. We also suggest layers. You can work up quite a sweat planting trees!
Volunteers should bring a snack and water. Friends does its best to provide a water source for volunteers but this is not always possible. Bring sunscreen if you are prone to sunburn.
Volunteering to plant trees is a high-impact project that not only brings beauty and environmental benefits to neighborhoods but also helps work toward our larger goal to increase Grand Rapids’ tree canopy.
