The Nature Center at Shaker Lakes (NCSL) is continually increasing our community tree canopy. We plant trees for habitat restoration - we remove invasive trees and plant native trees. This major project will plant 25 trees at one time with volunteer help. NCSL instructors will spend time with each volunteer to train them in the proper steps for planting trees.
Volunteer activities will include the following: planting the native trees, constructing and securing protective cages around the trees using wire fencing, and mulching trees afterwards for moisture retention. Volunteers will gain valuable skills and firsthand experience in proper tree planting, as well as a sense of accomplishment in participating in an important and lasting habitat restoration project at the Nature Center.
