Let’s kick off the CLC volunteer season in a tree-mendous way!

Together, we will break ground at a to-be-opened property in Taghkanic with a large-scale, native tree and shrub planting project. There will be many ways to help out, the chance to get to know fellow volunteers, and opportunities to learn about native plant species, proper planting methods, and tree care tips. Volunteers of all experience levels are encouraged to attend!

Lunch will be provided at noon, along with an overview of the property, plans for the future community forest, and opportunities to support the long-term care of the public site. Volunteers are welcome to stay as long as they can, but registration is required to plan accordingly for lunch!

What to expect: There will be jobs for all experience levels, including pruning, watering, digging holes, and more. Volunteers will receive training specific to their roles and be paired with experienced tree-planter leads, who can answer questions. Following registration, the address and directions to the Taghkanic property will be sent to participants.

What to bring: Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and footwear, and bring water, work gloves, any favorite tools, and sunscreen. Additional work gloves and tools will be available to borrow if needed!

What not to bring: Please, no dogs.
