Description

Afternoon shift 12:30pm-3pm Sunday April 6.

We will be planting trees around the I-55/ I-74 interchange off of Veterans Parkway in Bloomington. IDOT personnel will be providing traffic control and appropriate safety signs and barriers, but all volunteers must be ready to follow all safety training and precautions that will be provided.
Help the Ecology Action Center plant small (1-3 ft tall) bareroot seedling trees to improve air quality, sequester carbon, increase wildlife habitat, and more! Volunteers must be 18 or older for this project. Tools and heavy equipment will be in use and all volunteers must be able to safely use hand tools, stay on their feet for 3 hours at a time and lift a moderate weight (~15 pounds). Please dress appropriately for weather conditions and working outside. Long pants and closed-toed shoes or boots are required; no sandals or flip-flops.  More information as well as a confirmation email will be communicated to volunteers prior to the workday and NOT at sign up.
