Volunteer Day: Protect the Trees!

Start: Thursday, May 04, 2023 9:00 AM

End: Thursday, May 04, 2023 1:00 PM

The Purpose: Volunteers have been helping to assemble and install tree tubes as part of Foothills Conservancy's efforts to reforest a clear cut area at Oak Hill Community Park and Forest, in Morganton, NC.  We will be hosting several workdays throughout April and May to accomplish building the tubes and installing them around native hardwoods on site. There have been an estimated 2,300 assembled and placed around seedlings, out of 4,000 total needed.

The Plan: We will meet at the parking area at Oak Hill park and carpool to a building where we will put the tree tubes together. From there we will haul them to the tree planting site a little further in the park where volunteers will be given supplies to install tubes around tree seedlings.

All ages are welcome. Snacks and lunch will be provided. No bathrooms on site.
