Join The Piedmont Environmental Council for a volunteer tree planting at Lane’s Farm in Culpeper County on Thursday, April 14 – Friday, April 15!

Volunteer activities include (1) tree planting, which involves scalping (removing grass with a hoe), digging holes, planting, and pounding wooden stakes, and (2) coordination help, which involves checking-in volunteers. This is a family-friendly event, and volunteers of all ages are welcome! Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

This event is rain or shine. In the event of dangerous weather, we will reschedule the day’s planting. We will provide all of the necessary tools for planting, extra water, and snacks (no lunch will be provided – please pack your own). Volunteers are encouraged to wear boots or closed-toe shoes and clothing that they’re comfortable getting dirty. Please bring bottled water, sunscreen, and bug spray if needed. A porta-john will be onsite. The terrain is flat to rolling hills, with approximately a short walk to the planting site.
