TREE TOGA — 9am Saturday, April 25 at Pitney Meadows!

Tree Toga is a beloved, family-friendly tradition that brings our community together to make a lasting impact.

Volunteers gather at Pitney Meadows to learn the art of bare-root tree planting, sing our catchy planting song, and snap a group photo before heading out. With guidance from our Lead Planters, teams spread out across the city to help transform our streets into a greener paradise. This year's kick-off gathering will feature a drumming circle with EarthBeat Music!

By lunchtime, the trees are in the ground, the city is a little leafier, and it’s time to celebrate a job well done at a local pub!
