Working Wednesday: Volunteer work party

Let’s come together and care for the land! This month’s Working Wednesday will take place at the to-be-opened Taghkanic Community Forest.

Working Wednesdays are mid-week opportunities to care for the land while learning and practicing land care strategies. This month, attendees will learn about tree and shrub planting and continue the large-scale planting efforts started at the Volunteer kick-off earlier this month.

All are welcome to lend a hand at this fun, friendly volunteer event.

What to expect: There will be jobs for all experience levels, including watering, digging holes, hauling buckets, and more. Volunteers will receive training specific to their roles and will work alongside experienced tree-planter leads, who can answer questions. Following registration, the address and directions to the Taghkanic property will be sent to participants.

What to bring: Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and footwear, and bring water, work gloves, any favorite tools or clean buckets, and sunscreen. Additional work gloves and tools will be available to borrow if needed!
