Planting a Better Tomorrow!
Volunteers are needed to assist Trees Forever TreeKeepers and City of Des Moines staff in the tiny tree distribution program. Volunteers will help sort and package the trees that Des Moines residents have requested in advance. Please register below if you can help!
Pick up your trees from the Veterans Memorial Stadium parking lot at 950 Rockford Road in Cedar Rapids on Saturday, May 13 between 9:00am and 1:00pm during your selected timeslot. Trees not picked up by 1:00pm will be forfeited and redistributed. Tree species are subject to change: If your selected tree is not delivered from the supplier, it may be substituted for another species.
We will be planting in the city's ROW (Right-of-Ways) for this event. We will provide all the necessary tools, gloves, and safety vests, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own if they would like. Please wear appropriate clothing to work outside. Closed-toed shoes, pants, and weather appropriate wear are encouraged. Refreshments will be provided, but please bring a water bottle.
