Description

Join us at North Branch Park to plant 150 native trees and shrubs in the seasonally-wet basin off West Fairwood Drive. NWA is running the planting alongside the New Britain Township Environmental Advisory Council, who secured the grant behind the project. Volunteers will set plants into pre-augered holes, then mulch, stake, and water each one, and can choose to work an assembly line cutting and installing the deer cages that protect young trees. No experience is needed and we will show you what to do. The basin is about an acre of open, full-sun ground with uneven footing, so dress for the weather. Please note this is a Thursday.

What to Bring

Shovel, hand trowel if you have them. Closed toe shoes or boots.

Bad Weather Plan

Light rain or shine; cancelled in heavy rain/storms
