Riparian Buffer Tree Planting Workday

Expired

Description

On Saturday, April 15th from 10am to 12pm, we're seeking volunteers to help us plant hundreds of trees in two new acres that we've recently added to our multifunctional riparian buffer. We're reclaiming and rewilding formerly-farmed streamside areas to protect our waterways, regenerate habitat, and heal the land.

The warming days of Spring provide favorable conditions for new trees to establish their root systems and synthesize the energy needed to grow. Volunteers will help us plant and stake tree saplings, manage non-natives, and install protective tree tubes to help our saplings succeed.

** In addition to signing up through the SVN portal, all volunteers must complete a volunteer registration form on Horn Farm's website here: Volunteer Registration Form.
