Join volunteers from the Tree Board and Environmental Quality Commission at a tree planting event on Saturday, November 2, 2013 at 9:00am. The group will meet at the flag pole at City Hall, 17425 Ballinger Way NE at 9:00am and walk or carpool to the planting site.

The trees were purchased with coupons from Seattle City Light. Volunteers are hoping to plant the trees on a single street to make as big of an impact as possible. The trees will be planted in the right-of-way of homeowner's yards, near the street. Volunteers will be needed to dig the holes and plant the trees. No prior experience is required. The City will provide tools but volunteers should bring work gloves and can bring their own shovel if they want (this is optional). Refreshments and fun will be provided!
