Volunteers are invited to help 20 new Habitat for Humanity home owner families plant trees in their yards and neighborhoods on October 3rd. These trees will add beauty to the neighborhood and their shade will provide energy savings for years to come.
The event will start at the Habitat for Humanity homes at Wilderness Estates on Moose Ave NW, Cedar Rapids. Volunteers should arrive at 9:15 a.m. to register for the planting event and get a free t-shirt. Please park on F Ave NW on the shoulder of the highway. The event will begin with a kick-off celebration at 9:30, followed by planting. When planting is completed, volunteers will take a lunch break (lunch will be provided) then drive to the Colorado Ave SW homes to continue planting; please park on 66th Ave SW. Please avoid parking on the side streets off 66th Ave.
The event will end at approximately 2:00 pm when planting is finished.
Volunteers should dress for the weather and should wear close-toed shoes. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own tools (shovels, rakes, wheel barrows, etc.), but must mark them and keep track of them.
If you would like to volunteer, please contact Karen Brook at kbrook@treesforever.org or 319-373-0650 ext. 14. More detailed information will be sent to registered volunteers.
This NeighborWoods/Branching Out planting event is sponsored by Habitat for Humanity, Trees Forever, The Home Depot Foundation, the Alliance for Community Trees and Alliant Energy.
