Tree planting in Garth Nature Area

About the Event

Missouri Conservation Corps is organizing a tree planting in Columbia’s Garth Nature Area, 2799 North Garth, on Sunday, October 20th, from 2-5 p.m.  With the help of volunteers we will be planting native trees and shrubs selected for Garth Nature Area’s local environment.  The shrubs and trees are being sourced from our friends at Forest ReLeaf Missouri.  Missouri Conservation Corps will provide shovels, gloves and cold water for our volunteers.  Volunteers will need to wear sturdy footwear and bring a reusable water bottle.  After the trees have been planted we will put cages around them and give them a good, thorough watering.  Missouri Conservation Corps will also have a free tree giveaway for volunteers who come to help, and hot cocoa will be served.   For more information on this all ages, family friendly tree-planting event, contact Missouri Conservation Corps Project Director Stephen Bybee at [email protected]
