Upon arrival, check in with Root for Trees staff on site. This involves signing our volunteer sign-in form. Staff will provide a site orientation including a safety talk and planting demonstration. Volunteers will then be provided with gloves, a shovel and plant material. Volunteers can drop-in and leave anytime during the scheduled time slots. Come and plant for 30 minutes, or a few hours. This differs from our registered programs, as groups pre-book their planting online and are planting for a scheduled time frame with their specific group.
Plant material and equipment are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. If all plant material is planted before the end of the scheduled drop-in program, staff will facilitate additional activities such as:
- Weed pulling
- Educational activities
