Educational Park Drive Community Planting with Our City Forest

Join us for a spooky Halloween morning of tree planting! Help plant 16 trees at Educational Park Drive near Independence High School. What You’ll Be Doing: Join Our City Forest for a hands-on morning of greening the community! Volunteers will help plant new trees that will provide shade, cleaner air, and beauty for years to come. You’ll learn proper tree-planting techniques and work alongside our team on tasks such as: No experience needed! We’ll provide tools, gloves, and guidance! Walk-ins are welcome if the Eventbrite fills up! What to Bring to Volunteer: If you arrive at the event without the above items, you may be turned away from volunteering due to safety reasons. Age Recommendation: This event is best suited for volunteers ages 13 and up. Younger participants are welcome to attend with an adult but may need extra supervision for safety. For elementary aged volunteers we ask that there is 1 adult for every 2 children if possible. Getting Started: Please plan to arrive on time for our tree planting demonstration at the beginning of the event. This is where you’ll learn how to plant a tree safely and properly before getting hands-on in the field. Our team will continue to offer guidance and support throughout the event, so you’ll be in good hands even if it’s your first time planting. Want a quick preview (or refresher) before you arrive?
