Free the Trees @ Willard Avenue Neighborhood Park

Get Connected Icon Happens On Sep 11, 2025
Get Connected Icon 10:00 am to 12:00 pm

Description

Vines and bushes are killing our native trees and plants. Volunteers will use clippers, saws and other hand tools to remove the invasive plants and free the trees. Participants have told us that they can hear the trees thanking them. It's an opportunity to be outside and make a difference for the environment. The activity is open to everyone. Training is on site.  We have tools and gloves to lend. 

Meet at the Willard Avenue Park entrance at 5310 Willard Avenue.  We will be working on removing ivy from the trees there.  There is free parking along Willard Avenue. 

Visit LFWA.org/events for registration and complete details.
