Tree Planting at Brooklyn Center with Great River Greening (Afternoon)

Help us build a biodiverse and resilient urban tree canopy!Volunteers will plant large-stock trees into pre-dug holes; this work will include loosening root balls, filling holes with soil, watering, and spreading mulch around newly planted trees.These trees will replace trees lost to emerald ash borer infestation. They will cool and clean the air, provide shade, and beautify the community.

This event is part of the Cooling Minnesota Communities program an initiative working to mitigate extreme heat, deepen climate resiliency, and increase equitable access to urban tree canopies.

• No previous knowledge or experience is necessary!
• We'll provide the tools and training.
• Dress for the weather and get ready to get a little messy.
• The trees are roughly 20-30lb and 5-7ft tall.
• Light snacks and extra water will be available throughout the event. Please bring your own reusable water bottle and work gloves if possible; otherwise, gloves will be provided.
