Looking for a fun way to spend time outdoors? New to Salem and interested in connecting with your community? Join Friends of Trees, the City of Salem, and the Polk County Soil & Water Conservation District in the second of two community planting events to be held this planting season at the recently upgraded Eola Ridge Park. We will be planting native trees and shrubs in the upland areas of the park during this first event. This event is one of many events in support of the Year of the Tree campaign, celebrating Salem’s 40th year as a Tree City USA.
Please arrive around 8:45am to be registered and assigned to a crew. The event will start promptly at 9:00am. We provide breakfast snacks and hot chocolate/coffee, as well as gloves, tools and guidance. Please come dressed for the weather and wearing sturdy, closed-toe shoes and get ready to have fun!
Looking to volunteer as a group? RSVPs are highly-encouraged for groups of more than 5 people to ensure you are able to plant on the same crews. Registration is quick and easy, simply click visit: http://friendsoftrees.org/volunteering/group-registration. RSVPs are not required for individuals or groups of 4 or fewer -- you may simply show up!
Please contact Jenny or Randi at (503) 595-0213 if you have any questions or need more information. We look forward to seeing you out there!
