Saturday, October 24, 2020
Time: 9 am - 1 pm
Location: Christy Park
Project Type: Beautification project
Description: Hello Tree Lovers!
Our goal is to plant 50 native Missouri trees in Christy Park park on this Saturday, Oct. 24. We will begin at 9 am. We will be near the jungle gym. Forest ReLeaf of Missouri will provide the free trees. We will mulch around the trees and apply tree guards to the bottom part of the tree trunk. Some shovels will be provided, but we could use more. Bring a shovel, a pair of gloves, and a water bottle. If you have a wheel-barrel and could bring it, that would be fantastic. I will also bring my wheel-barrel. All other materials will be provided.
The St. Louis City Forestry Commissioner will also join us (he has approved this project and helped me locate spots for the trees). He and I will show everyone how to plant the trees, water them, and mulch around them. Bring any friends and family with you. Many people have already responded, but you can never have too many helping-hands for these kind of labor-intensive events. Come for 3 hours or just come for an hour. Whatever works for you.
Thank you to everyone who decides to help us. Please, spread the word! Meet near the jungle gym. Please, bring a mask and practice social distancing. See you there!
