After a two-year hiatus, the Forest Preserve District of Kane County is happy to announce that our Earth Day tree-planting event is back.
Volunteers are needed to help plant trees on the east side of Elburn Forest Preserve at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 23. All are welcome. We’ll plant hundreds of trees in a few hours, and can use as many helpers as possible. Holes will be pre-dug. Volunteers simply will plant the tree, tamp down dirt, add water and mulch. It’s easy!
Be sure to arrive promptly at 9 a.m.. Planting will continue until all trees are in the ground, or noon, whichever comes first!
This volunteer opportunity is perfect for individuals or groups, families, scouts, youth groups, or other organizations. You’re welcome to plant a single tree, or stay and plant as many as you like. Bring work gloves if you prefer. Groups of 10 or more, please contact our volunteer coordinator at 630-762-2741 or volunteer@kaneforest.com to register. Groups of less than 10 do not need to RSVP.
Elburn Forest Preserve (east entrance) is at 1N750 Read Street, Elburn. For more information, visit www.kaneforest.com or find us on social media @forestpreserve.
