LEAF - More Volunteer Tree Planters Needed
Last
weekend we had a number of people assisting at our beautiful Milne Hollow site.
Since the spring, we've been able to rehabilitate this great space by planting
225 native trees and shrubs... but the goal is to plant 600. That means we
still have 375 trees remaining!
We
need as many LEAF volunteers as possible to help us reach this goal and help
increase Toronto
LEAF Photographers
and Lead Volunteers are also needed for this event.
Lead
Volunteers are individuals who arrive early to help set up. They also assist in
leading other event participants in properly planting and mulching our trees.
Training provided.
