The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
Celebrate Arbor Day with tree planting at WVU Falling Run!
This spring, we're partnering with WVU Sustainability and the WVSU Bare Root Tree Program.
The WVSU Extension Service Agriculture & Natural Resources Division is generously donating native bare root saplings to improve our forested areas at WVU Falling Run
So, now we're hoping to get our WVU volunteers to help with the planting.
Restoring natural habitat is one of our most rewarding missions at Falling Run. You get hands on experience while reconnecting with your natural environment. It's physical work, but good exercise. And it's much appreciated by Falling Run visitors and the native wildlife.
Free snacks and drinks. Bring a friend if you can.
Reminders:
-
Volunteer activities are ongoing and open to all. But there's a limit on the number of participants we can accommodate each workday
-
Interested volunteers can register here, and email Rich Wolff (rjw0009@mix.wvu.edu) with any questions
-
Wear boots or sturdy closed toe shoes, socks, long pants, and clothes that are okay to get dirty
-
We'll provide tools and safety equipment as needed. Bring water, and consider taking a hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent
-
If you get allergic reactions to insect stings, make sure you bring your EpiPen
