All Root for Trees events have been cancelled until further notice.
I have registered our club for a Guided Planting Shift with Root for Trees!
Planting Date: Saturday, June 13 – 9:30 am to 12:00 pm
Location: Sifton Ravine
Directions: North of Hermitage Road between 40th and 50th Streets
At this time, the landscape technicians do not know precisely where we will be planting, but will confirm the parking and access details closer to the shift.
We plant outdoors, so please dress for the weather! Working in a natural area, it is possible that you may encounter thistles, sticks, or garbage. Consider dressing in layers, long pants, and a hat. Volunteers must wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes, such as runners. Volunteers may not participate in planting activities if they wear 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! I suggest you bring sunscreen, bug spray, and anything else that will make your volunteer shift an enjoyable experience. Root for Trees will supply the shovels, gloves, and plants.
A Program Leader will contact me at least four days prior to our volunteer shift to confirm details, meeting location and to answer any questions that we may have. Please let me know of any special concerns, severe allergies, or medical conditions to share with the Program Leader at that time. I want to ensure that everyone has a safe planting experience.
Thank you,
Cheers,
Annie
