Earth Day TreeLC

Work Party  

Sat.

Apr 19,

9 AM

Join us on Earth Day to give our trees a little TLC
Saturday April 19, 9 AM – 1 PM (Earth Day is really April 22, but let's celebrate a little early!)
Dayton Street Trailhead

We will be caring for trees we have planted along the Woodland Trail these last few years between Dayton ST and Boulevard Road.  Some need new stakes, mulch mats, or foil mouse guards.  Some just need us to clear them a little sunny spot.  It is a fun and social event.

Bring gloves, hand pruners, and DRESS FOR RAIN.  Gloves and tools provided if you do not have them.

Getting there by car:

From I-5 take the Pacific Avenue exit in Olympia.  Proceed West 0.8 miles on Pacific Avenue.  Take Boulevard Rd South 0.6 miles.  Turn Left (East) onto 15th st (Same as Dayton).  Go around the bend to the end.  The Doors Unlimited people have been nice enough to let us use their parking lot.  The project site is just down the trail to the West.  Look for the white tent.

Getting there by bicycle:

From Pacific Avenue, take Boulevard Rd South appx 0.4 miles.  Immediately after crossing I-5, turn Left (East) onto the I-5 bike path.  Take an immediate right onto the short connector trail.  Turn left (East) onto the Woodland Trail, and go ¼ mile West toward Dayton Street.  Look for the white tent.

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!

Mark your calendars:

* Saturday, November 17th -- 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM

* Saturday, December 1st -- 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM

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):

Join us to nurture a future forest along this important east-west hiking and biking trail. The Woodland Trail will someday link Tumwater, Olympia and Lacey, and promote health while decreasing our dependence on cars and fossil fuels. See www.wtga.org for details. Come join us!
