April 22nd, 2023 – Hanlon Creek Forest

Join Moritz Sanio, Bill Gaines and the whole crew from Trees for Guelph PLUS Rotary Guelph and the City of Guelph. It’s going to be awesome.

We plant rain or shine or (hopefully not) snow.

Planting starts at 9:00 AM and runs until 2:00 PM. Drop by for as long as you can. Plant one tree or plant for all five hours.

Parking, site access and environmental fair at 335 Laird Road, Guelph, ON. It will be fun for all ages and planter abilities.

You may bring your own shovel, pails for watering and gardening gloves. If you don’t have gear…DON’T WORRY, we have some you can borrow.

Please wear sturdy footwear and layers of clothing that are comfortable to work and have fun in. Be aware the sun can be really strong after a long winter with no exposure. Don’t forget your favourite sun protection.

We spread out to plant but please follow all the public health guidelines when arriving and during the planting demonstrations.

There will be planting technique demonstrations continuously throughout the planting sessions so come for as little or as long as you can. Learn all the techniques to plant for high survival rates.

Are you a high school students wanting volunteer hours? Make sure to bring your log sheet so we can record your efforts.

We cannot do this without the incredibly generous support from our partners including the City of Guelph, Grand River Conservation Authority, TD Friends of the Environment, Copernicus Education Products, The Modern Bride, Johnson & Johnson, Rotary Club of Guelph South, Pollination Guelph, Royal City Brewing, Home Depot, Rona, Upper Grand District School Board and Wellington Catholic District School Board.
