The Lake Forest Park Stewardship Foundation is hosting a planting work party and would love to have you join them this Saturday, December 6, 2025 from 9:00am to 12:00pm.

(Join for an hour, two or three)

We need all hands on deck to meet our goal of planting 22 beautiful 8 ft Western Red Cedar trees. 

They are currently outgrowing their pots, and the ground is moist and soft—it's the perfect time to give them a permanent home in 5 Acre Woods Park!

What to Bring & Wear

We especially need people with strong backs for digging & lifting at this work party. 

Each tree requires a large hole and lifting/moving the pots will be a group effort.

Know your limitations, we don't want anyone injured!

Tools: Please bring a shovel and/or pick axe if you own one.

Attire: Dress for the uneven terrain and cold weather. Sturdy boots, gloves, and a rain hat are highly recommended!

Other Activities & Refreshments

We’ll have hot cocoa, coffee, and treats for all volunteers.

No Digging/Lifting? 

A covered station will be set up for folks who prefer to make bird seed ornaments & edible fruit garlands.

Volunteers of all ages are welcome, children will need adult supervision and permission. Please sign in when you arrive. Bring your own gloves & tools if you can, we will have some to lend as well.
