Native Tree Planting in Kalkaska

10/24/2020 09:00 AM - 02:00 PM ET

Description

Join MUCC's On The Ground program on Saturday, October 24th, as we will be planting trees to improve habitat on public land near Kalkaska. Volunteers are needed to help plant, cover, and fence 90 mature mast-producing trees. These trees will benefit a variety of wildlife, including ruffed grouse, white-tailed deer, and several other game and non-game species. 
Volunteers will meet at 1089 Wildwood Shores Dr, Kalkaska, MI 49646. 
 The event will begin at 9 AM. After registration and introductions, we will go out into the field to get the trees in the ground. Granola bars, sandwiches, and water will be available to all volunteers. All volunteers will also receive a free OTG t-shirt. 
Although the official time slot for this event runs from 9 AM to 5 PM, volunteers are welcome to leave at any point during the day. Volunteers are asked to bring their own work gloves, if possible. MUCC will provide these materials if the volunteer is unable to bring their own. Please also bring a face covering that can be worn when social distancing of six feet or more is not possible.
