TreePlanting

Volunteers are needed to help Great Rivers Greenways and Forest ReLeaf of Missouri maintain newly planted trees at North Riverfront Park.

Volunteers will help mulch tree rings by weeding around trees, shoveling mulch into wheelbarrows, and making mulch rings around newly planted trees. No experience is necessary for this activity, but it does involve physical labor and walking over varying terrain.

No experience necessary; Forest ReLeaf and Great Rivers Greenway staff will teach volunteers the proper mulching technique.

What to wear: Please dress for the weather and bundle up if the weather is chilly. Long pants and closed toe shoes are required. Gloves will be provided.

What to bring: All tools will be provided. Please bring a water bottle to help us reduce plastic waste. Light snacks and water will be provided.

All ages are welcome!

About Great Rivers Greenway

Location:

3745 Foundry Way, Suite 253, Saint Louis, MO 63110, US

Mission Statement

Connecting the St. Louis region with greenways so people can explore their rivers, parks and communities, making it a vibrant place to live, work, and play.

Description

Great Rivers Greenway is a regional public agency, created by a vote of the people in the year 2000 to leave a legacy for future generations. That vote created a sales tax that funds our organization to build, bring to life and care for the network of greenways. In 2013, the region dedicated additional funds to parks and greenways, and we became the stewards of the local investment in the CityArchRiver Project, the transformation of the area surrounding the Gateway Arch.

Residents of the St. Louis region voted for and invested in a clear, bold vision - a dynamic network of parks and open spaces linked together by greenways, connecting our communities so people can live life outside. The network of greenways strengthens the social, economic and environmental well-being of our region. Community members proudly invest in, care for and champion greenways for years to come.
