** Rescheduled Tree Planting **
SPRING TREE PLANTING EVENT
The spring tree planting event at the Conestoga Country Club (originally scheduled for April 16th but postponed due to inclement weather) has been rescheduled for Saturday, May 14th, at 9 a.m. at the Conestoga Country Club, (View Larger Map)1950 Stone Mill Road, Lancaster, PA. The Little Conestoga Watershed Alliance will plant 350 trees and shrubs which will complete a stream restoration project to benefit the watershed. Volunteers and their families are invited to participate. Volunteers should wear long pants, sturdy shoes or boots, work gloves, and bring a shovel. High School age volunteers can come without parental supervision, but younger volunteers should be accompanied by an adult.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Todd Trout at troutt@lancastercountryday.org so LCWA can plan for the number of volunteers available that day. If there are any changes in plans, LCWA will contact the volunteers via email directly to let them know.
Thank You for doing your part and supporting the Little Conestoga Watershed Alliance.
