The Rotary Club of Edmonton West is asking us to join them to plant air purifiers (read: trees) and at the same time comply with the RI president Ian Riseley's challenge and the City of Edmonton's goal to Go Green.
Guided Planting Event Confirmation
Dear Annie,
Thank you for participating in the Root for Trees program! We hope that you are looking forward to your Guided Planting Event! Please read and review all of the following details:
Planting Date: Thursday, May 31, 2018, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Location: Hamptons Lake
Directions & Parking: Hamptons Lake can be accessed from 62nd Avenue, close to the Anthony Henday. From 62nd Avenue, turn onto 205th Street. There is ample parking available along the residential streets surrounding the lake. Your Program Leaders will arrange a meeting location with you.
This is an outdoor event, so please dress accordingly. Working in a natural area, it is possible that you may encounter thistles, sticks, or garbage and it is important to protect yourself. Consider dressing in layers, long pants, and a hat. It is important that you wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes. Volunteers will not be allowed to participate in the event of wearing inappropriate footwear such as sandals, flip-flops, or high heel shoes.
Remember to bring a water bottle and snacks, as planting trees can be a very physical activity! Please bring sunscreen, bug spray, and anything else that may make your planting event an enjoyable experience. We will supply you with shovels, gloves, and planting material.
A Program Leader will contact you at least 4 days prior to your planting event to confirm any last minute details and to answer any questions that you may have. It is important to alert a Program Leader of any special concerns, severe allergies, or medical conditions. We want to ensure that everyone has a safe planting experience.
