Join us at Mitchell Creek Meadows: The Don and Jerry Oleson Nature Preserve to help plant hundreds of trees! Through this event, GTRLC strives to create healthy native habitats, increase species diversity, and reforest degraded ecosystems. If this sounds like something that interests you, please join us and help get some trees in the ground!

The Basics:

GTRLC will provide any materials necessary for the workday. Volunteers will help plant trees in specific locations of the preserve, so come prepared for a moderately strenuous activity with volunteers often bending and kneeling to dig and plant trees. Restrooms and drinking water are available on site.
