Hands needed to plant trees at the Quarry Farm
FROM QUARRY FARM FACEBOOK__Six years into The Quarry Farm’s 10-year goal of removing invasive plant species like Amur bush honeysuckle that crowd out native trees and wildflowers, David Seitz has cleared so much of these invasives that it is time to plant trees that will benefit native wildlife. This April, we are planting 850 trees, including species of oak, hickory, serviceberry, buckeye, plum, persimmon, and viburnum. We will supply gloves, tools, and refreshments.
Please email [email protected] or call 567-376-0705 if you, your friends, family, scouts, classmates, would like to help be part of this exciting project.
Let us know of any day April 12–May 3 that works for you.
