Dig-a-(free!)Tree

Help yourself to free native trees while maintaining the meadow habitat. In preparation for spring mowing of the field, a designated area of the Marshlands Conservancy in Rye, New York is available for digging. Black Cherry, Black Locust, Sassafras, Pin Oak, Black Oak, and Sweet Gum may be among the varieties. People will be available to help with identification and offer tips on transplanting. Wear protective clothing and work gloves, and  bring a spade, loppers, bags or burlap and be prepared to dig. Arrive promptly at 10am for orientation. Do your part to help sustainable land use by transplanting native trees and shrubs to your own yard.

Saturday & Sunday, October 30 & 31, 2010
