Volunteer: Melvin Hazen West Community Tree Planting

Join us as we plant 100 trees along Melvin Hazen Trail West. These trees will provide added shade and canopy to the walking trail.

** IMPORTANT: The Tuesday before this planting, we will send a logistics and directions email with detailed information about how to get to the site. You will receive this email ONLY if you are signed-up for this planting. **
