For all the projects, you will be planting native trees and shrubs and mulching them. The work is fun and relatively easy, suitable for families and people of all ages. Bring a shovel or rake if you can, and if you have a wheel barrow that's easy to transport, we'll put it to use. If you don't have tools, don't worry, we've got plenty to share. Sturdy shoes and gardening gloves are also helpful to have. We'll have water to drink and people there to show you what to do. We need the most help on May 5 at Osgoode Park.
