Northeast Tree Tenders - Fall 2009 Tree Planting

 

Our Fall 2009 planting will be on Saturday November 21st, 2009. We will be planting 50 street trees all over Northeast Philadelphia! The trees are Bare Root Trees, meaning they have no soil around their roots and only weigh 20-30lbs, making them very easy to plant. We will have all the tools and materials but we are looking for volunteers to help us plant! Please come out and help beautify the neighborhoods where we live, and have lots of fun in the process!

 

Meet at 9am at the Al Furqan Mosque at 7252 Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia right next to the Dollar Tree Store at the intersection of Cottman Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard.  (Please let us know if you need directions)

We will be planting rain or shine! Wear clothes that can get dirty and sturdy shoes.

 

Planting Day Schedule -

9am to 9:30 - Registration and Breakfast

9:45 to 12:00 - We will divide into planting groups that will be headed by experienced planters and head out to plant trees in different locations around the Northeast.

12:00 to 1pm - Everyone will come back to the mosque for lunch.

 

Since our planting locations are scattered around the northeast, we will have to send groups out in cars to get to the locations. You need not have a car to participate. If you have a car and are willing to take volunteers to the planting location and back, please let us know. Also, if you have any experience planting and would like to help lead a group, let us know.

If you have any questions, you can reach me at 215-694-9607 or respond to this email. You can also visit us online at NortheastTreeTenders.com

Please let us know if you plan to attend so we know how many volunteers we can expect. Also, please pass this on to anyone that might be interested in planting trees. This is one of the largest volunteer tree planting projects that Northeast Philadelphia has seen, and we will need as many volunteers as possible!

We look forward to seeing you on the 21st!

Thanks,
