Sustainable Saratoga Seeks Volunteers for Tree Toga on Saturday, April 30

SARATOGA SPRINGS — On Saturday, April 30, Sustainable Saratoga’s Urban Forestry Project will hold its largest planting event ever, with 53 trees scheduled to be planted by volunteers at homes and other locations across the city.  This will bring the total number of Tree Toga plantings to 335 trees since 2014. 

The organization is seeking volunteers to be part of the event. 

Volunteer Tree Hosts and Tree Planters will check in at Pitney Meadows Community Farm at 9:30 a.m. and get a lesson in tree planting before heading off to their assigned planting locations throughout Saratoga Springs. Once the trees are in the ground, it’s up to the Tree Host homeowners to provide the care that is critical to tree survival and the success of Sustainable Saratoga’s mission to preserve and expand Saratoga’s urban forest. 

And you can help!  Volunteer for this great, family-friendly event at sustainablesaratoga.org/treetoga.
