The work is inspecting young seedling trees in our warehouse building. Volunteers stand at tables to check for damage on the tree roots and stems then group them into bundles of 15. The seedlings are 6-24inches tall. The flooring in the grading area is heated although the temperature in the building is kept cool. Bring snacks or lunch.
