Have you had enough of the cold and rain? Tired of being cooped up? Ready to get out in the sun?
Well, this Saturday the city is looking for volunteers to help plant a whole lotta trees along Will Clayton Parkway — 20,000 of them, in fact:
On January 27, 2007 a forest of 20,000 trees will put down roots on the Will Clayton Parkway esplanades between Lee Road and Highway 59 with a lot of help from willing volunteers. 2,000 volunteers are needed (rain or shine) to help accomplish this massive tree planting effort. Getting dirty is not optional; it’s required! Who can resist that? Bug spray and sunscreen are recommended. Volunteers must bring their own shovels, rakes and gloves. All volunteers must register and sign waiver forms prior to planting.
If the lure of being part of this great project isn’t enough to get you to volunteer, water, refreshments, and lunch will be provided.
