Neighbor Network: Fall 2024
|
Tuesday: 6:00pm
Mills Community House, top floor 891 Michigan Ave, Benzonia, MI 49616 |
Need help planting your seedlings? Love planting trees but don’t need any more yourself? Then this program is for you!
The Neighbor Network connects volunteers with local landowners who need help planting their seedlings. Together, you will learn best tree planting practices, then have the opportunity to arrange planting dates/times with one another. These plantings are not BCD events, but rather, we are fostering this community in the spirit of volunteerism.
