Two Work Parties -- 10,000 Plants! -- in November and December 2007

November 15th Update:

EVENT CONFIRMED -- RAIN OR SHINE -- WE ARE ALL READY TO MAKE THE NOVEMBER 17TH EVENT SUCCESSFUL FOR ALL!

We have a fantastic crew of volunteers ready to pre-auger holes to make planting easier. Huge trucks (hauling 45 cubic yards at a time) have already brought-in compost and other material to make easier for the plants. More volunteers will bring in and stage the plants for these events. All you have to do is enjoy some wonderful company and get a "plant or two" relocated to help make our trail beautiful.

These Planting Events are now confirmed!!:-) Location of the Nov 17th and Dec 1st Planting Events (see map below):

General information about work parties:

Dress for rain. Bring gloves and a shovel if you have them. Tools provided.

We’ll provide snacks and gloves. There are always options for some "heavy lifting" and some "lighter duty" tasks. Each task contributes to the Trail. We welcome all participants and the opportunity to build the community. Dress for rain (just in case!). We’ll see you there!

Go around the bend to the end, and park along the street. The first project site is just down the trail to the West. By mid morning, we will move to the East of Dayton St., in the wooded area between the Woodland Trail and the I-5 bike path.
