Volunteer tree planters wanted

The City of Georgetown is looking for volunteers to help plant 30 trees from 9 a.m. to noon on February 26 in San Gabriel Park.

Volunteers and staff will plant native and adapted shade trees to beautify and add shade to a popular area of ​​the park. No planting experience is required to volunteer, and the holes for 25-30 gallon trees will already be dug. Groups and young people are welcome.

Volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or adult, and two adults are required for every four children who sign up as volunteers.

Volunteers can check in for the event beginning at 8:30 a.m. at the green tent near the hillside playground, which is located at the west end of the park. A safety briefing will take place at 8.55 am. Planting will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Participants are asked to wear appropriate clothing, including long pants, hats, and sunglasses, as well as comfortable closed-toe shoes. If possible, volunteers should bring a water bottle, shovel, gloves, rake and/or hoe.

The tree planting event may be postponed in the event of inclement weather.
