Tree planting at Sky Meadows

Oct. 29 and 30, 2021. 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Edmonds Lane Field.

Join The Piedmont Environmental Council, Friends of the Rappahannock, Goose Creek Association, John Marshall Soil & Water Conservation District and We Plant Trees, for volunteer tree planting at Sky Meadows State Park! Volunteers will be needed in two shifts, from 9 a.m.-noon and 1-3 p.m., for planting 1,060 native tree tubelings (scalping, digging holes, planting, and pounding wooden stakes). This is a family-friendly event, and volunteers of all ages are welcome! Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Online registration is highly encouraged but open to all members of the public.

Necessary tools for planting, extra water, and snacks will be provided (lunch will not be provided). Volunteers are encouraged to wear boots or closed-toe shoes and clothing that they are comfortable getting dirty and bring bottled water. The terrain will be relatively flat, and volunteers will need to maneuver through one fence.

In addition to planting tools, snacks, and water, volunteers will also receive free entry into the park for the day.
