About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

In 2022, the Chicago Region Trees Initiative (CRTI) planted 30 trees with the Illinois Medical District in a volunteer tree planting. Join us this July as we return to the site for a maintenance workday re-mulching these young trees. Properly placed mulch has significant benefits to soil quality and a tree's long-term survival!

CRTI will also be talking about the benefits of trees and teaching tree ID throughout this workday.

No experience is necessary and all ages are welcome!

  • Make sure to check the weather and dress appropriately. Closed toe shoes are required!
  • Bring a full water bottle, snack, and sunscreen. All other tools and equipment will be provided.
  • Should any severe weather occur, please check your email for any updates.
