What: Tree Planting at Bordwell Park
Help us celebrate Earth Month by serving our local community! The Office of Student Life at UCR is partnering with TreePeople to plant 35 shade trees at Bordwell Park! These trees will help provide much-needed shade, clean air, and recreational spaces for the surrounding community. Volunteers will help dig holes for the trees, install stakes and ties, and provide mulch and water for them. The trees will be maintained by TreePeople and the City of Riverside moving forward to ensure they are well taken care of! We'll start with a hands-on demonstration to show you how to plant a tree step by step, go over tool safety, and then split off into groups with plenty of staff support. Please be sure to bring plenty of water, closed-toe shoes, and clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Snacks and extra water will be provided!! This is an awesome opportunity to have a direct impact on our local community. Bordwell Park is down the street from UCR making this the perfect opportunity to get involved! This project can accommodate up to 35 UCR volunteers so sign up today before spaces are filled! Click on the registration link for more information.
