Plant trees for cleaner air and water in Baltimore County!
We are looking for student volunteers and adults who care about the Earth, our watershed, and the Chesapeake Bay! Do you like being outside in nature and don’t mind working hard? Join us, and make a difference for future generations.
Community service learning hours available. Perfect for students, Scout troops, religious affiliation groups, corporate volunteer groups, families, singles and neighbors! Children ages 8 years and up must be accompanied by an adult.
More than 30,000 trees have been planted throughout the Gunpowder Watershed by enthusiastic volunteers over the past 30 years, and we need YOUR help to plant even more!
EVENT DETAILS
This event is rain or shine.
What to bring: Remember to wear boots, pants, long sleeve shirt, hat, gloves, and bring rain gear and water bottle. Water jug and a light snack will be provided.
Location: Pine Ridge Golf Course/Loch Raven Reservoir (2101 Dulaney Valley Road). From I-695 take exit 27 (Dulaney Valley Rd, North). Go past Seminary Ave. and follow for about 1/2 to 1 mile. Turn right into the Pine Ridge Golf Course just before Timonium Rd. intersection.
