Come help plant trees along the Oatka Creek this Saturday. Join us at the Genesee Country Village & Museum where we’re restoring an area where trees had to be taken down due to damage by Emerald Ash Borer.
Where?
Genesee Country Village & Museum Property on the north side of Flint Hill Road, Mumford NY – More information on parking will be available soon.
When:
This Saturday, May 6 at 9:00 AM until we are done!
What to bring:
Tools to bring with you if you have them:
- shovel and/or spade
- planting bar
- Pick axe and/or mattock tool
- Hard rubber hammer, claw hammer and/or medium size ballpeen hammer
- utility knife
- empty 5-gallon buckets with handles
- rake
Don’t forget to label your tools for easy identification.
And for yourself:
