Calling all volunteers: join us to help plant 500 hazelnuts and other shrubs, all in honor of Earth Day.

Holes will be pre-dug. All you’ll need to do is insert the shrub, tamp down soil, water and mulch. It’s easy.

We’ll have giveaways, a naturalist-guided hike, environmental education with a pop-up naturalist exhibit, and a Traveling Science Center. Be sure to arrive by 10 a.m. We’ll plant shrubs until they’re gone (and they’re usually planted in the first 90 minutes.) This event is great for individuals or groups. No registration required.
