Two events kickoff the work season with opportunities to clear brush or pot seedlings. Registration is required, so click the links below for your desired event.
Fence Clearing at Gosnell Big Woods
The Big Field of the Gosnell Big Woods Preserve has 1/3 mile of split-rail fencing along Baker and Vosburg Rds. Join us to clear vines and dense foliage around the fence in several areas and replace
a fence post. We need about a dozen folks to do this job.
Bring work gloves, hand clippers, loppers, powered hedge clipper and lots of energy.
To register and see date, time and location information, see the event.
Earth Day Tree/Shrub Planting at ReTree Nursery
To celebrate Earth Day, join ReTree to pot bare-root native tree and shrub seedlings, and to add some seedlings to our open spaces. The seedlings will stay in our plant nursery until they are big enough to
plant in our open spaces to provide habitat, make cleaner air, and cool the planet.
This is a family-friendly event, with many hands needed.
Bring gloves, shovel or trowel, and energy. Meet at the ReTree Nursery in the Parks and Rec Maintenance area at 9AM.
