As part of the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy's urban reforestation effort, there will be a tree planting of 150 trees in Delaware Park on Saturday, October 27 from 9am until 12pm. In addition to planting trees, volunteers will also assist in maintaining flower beds, leaf raking, and litter pick-up. Children as young as 10 are permitted to participate with a parent or guardian. If you're planning to volunteer please wear work and weather appropriate clothing (work boots and gloves) and bring your own tools if possible.
The tree planting will also serve as a Tool Drive for the Conservancy. Volunteers are encouraged to donate a new or gently used tool and will be given an Olmsted water bottle as a token of our appreciation. Desired tools include but are not limited to:
Spade shovels
Metal leaf rakes
Heavy duty rakes
For those looking to volunteer pre-registration is recommended. Please email volunteer@bfloparks.org or call 716.838.1249 ext 15. Volunteers will meet at the kiosk in Delaware Park at the intersection of Meadow Drive & Meadow Road near Nottingham Terrace.
