Help Plant 600 Oak Trees at Johnson’s Mound on Sept. 27
Help plant 600 oak trees in under three hours!
The Forest Preserve District of Kane County is calling for volunteers of all ages to help plant trees at Johnson’s Mound Forest Preserve as part of National Public Lands Day. This tree-planting event is one of many that will take place across the country on Sept. 27. National Public Lands Day is America’s largest single-day volunteer event dedicated to improving public lands.
Tree planting begins at 10 a.m. sharp, and will last until all 600 oaks are planted (or 1 p.m. — whichever comes first). Please bring work gloves if you prefer. Holes are pre-dug. We’ll need volunteers to plant the trees, tamp down dirt, water and mulch. It’s easy! This is a great event for families, scouts, groups or individuals.
Be a part of planting trees that will last for hundreds of years, and that future generations will enjoy.
Groups of less than 10 do not need to register in advance. Groups of 10 or more, please contact the Forest Preserve District’s volunteer coordinator at 630-208-8662 or email volunteer@kaneforest.com to RSVP.
Johnson’s Mound Forest Preserve is located at 41W600 Hughes Road, Elburn.
