Arbor Day Tree Bagging - April 30, 2023

Mark your calendars for the annual Arbor Day seedling bagging event at the Muttart Conservatory in Edmonton

This event was very special to Ernst Klaszus, one of our former Chief Wardens, and we hope to continue the tradition.  Usually we have between 15,000 and 30,000 trees to put in individual bags.  With many people, it can take anywhere from 1.5 - 3 hours of your time.  We really need you to make this event a success. Remember many hands make light work!! -- Terry Garrett, Chief Warden Emeritus

Hosted by Root for Trees, Edmonton's volunteer tree planting initiative.
