WOLCOTT – Each year, Vermont River Conservancy organizes volunteer planting events at riverfront sites conserved across Vermont. With the arrival of April, Vermont River Conservancy is kicking off the tree planting season. Community members are needed to help restore vital riparian habitat along the Lamoille River. The upcoming event will take place on Thursday, April 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Wolcott.
This will be followed by two more plantings, at a different location in Wolcott on Saturday, April 25, and Wednesday, April 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Participants are asked to park at the Wolcott Recreational Field. Arrive by 10 a.m. so volunteers and event organizers can walk to the planting site together.
olunteers will learn how to plant trees to ensure long-term survival, while contributing directly to the restoration of riparian forests. All are welcome, and no prior experience is necessary. There will be limited gloves available, bring your own if possible.
