SAT. JUNE 18: Community Tree Planting at Wolfond Park

Volunteer Coordinator June 17, 2016 June 17, 2016

Come and help if you can!

The Speed River Project is running a Community Tree Planting on Saturday June 18 at Wolfond Park East (212 Arthur Street North). We’ll be there from 10am to 3pm, planting about 120 native woodland plants like Bloodroots, Mayapple, Canada Anemone, and False Solomons. These ideal plant species can out-compete invasive garlic mustard. They have evolved to live here for 1000’s of years and provide valuable habitat.

We will be planting and mulching from 10 am to 3.pm. Please join us! Children are welcome. Snacks and drinks will be served!

Please bring buckets for watering, small shovels, rakes, wheel-barrows if you have them. RSVP to Kiran at speedriver@opirgguelph.org. Please help us to spread the word! There is a FB event if you’d like to invite your friends: https://www.facebook.com/events/255346188179115/

Thanks!
See you at the park!

OPIRG Guelph is located on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land and offer our respect and gratitude to all of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island who have stewarded, loved & defended this land for centuries.

In stating this, we acknowledge that we are here as a result of blood that has been shed through colonization, which continues to be the lived experience of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to be accountable for our present participation in that process.
