Shelby Park - Small Tree Planting
Do you love digging in the dirt and helping something grow? Join Friends of Shelby as we transplant seedlings from our tree nursery to their forever home in the park. As always, we'll be sharing some Shelby Park history and talking about ways to improve our park.
This activity will take place outdoors and it could be cold, so wear layers. Work will be dirty, so please dress appropriately and wear boots. We will provide gloves, shovels, and other tools, but feel free to bring your own. Water and snacks will be provided.
We will work individually to provide plenty of room to spread out. Masks are required when you arrive and when working within 10 feet of others.
Founded in 2008, the Friends of Shelby is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation, protection, enhancement, and stewardship of Shelby Park and Shelby Bottoms. It works to protect the natural and historical integrity of the area by supporting appropriate recreational activities, maintaining and enhancing its features, promoting programs that inspire appreciation and conservation of Park and Bottoms, and advocating for a level playing field for the various user groups.
