In partnership with the Richmond City Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities Department, Southside ReLeaf is hosting a tree care day to perform maintenance on young and adolescent trees at Hickory Hill. Volunteers will use wheelbarrows, shovels, and other tools to remove weeds, move mulch, and layer mulch around the bases of trees, replacing cages as needed. If you don't have experience with tree maintenance, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn.
When?
Saturday, June 13, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Where?
Hickory Hill Community Center, 3000 East Belt Boulevard, Richmond, VA, 23234. Park in the lot to the side of the community center. Community gardens, soccer fields, and a playground are visible as you pull in.
What should I bring?
Closed-toe shoes are required. Snacks and water will be provided. If able, please bring a refillable water bottle. Feel free to bring your own gloves. Gloves and tools will be provided.
