Re-Tree WNY is putting out an appeal for able-bodied folks to help with a large tree planting this weekend at a couple of City of Buffalo parks.
The planting begins on Sunday, November 6th at 9 am at Schiller Park, which is on the city’s east side. After the roughly 35 trees are planted there, the group will move to Franczyk Park to plant another 35 trees.
Species will vary between gingkos, oaks, ivory silk lilacs, honey locust, and London Planetrees.
Volunteers are encouraged to dress according to the weather. Shovels and gloves will be provided. Schiller Park is located off of Sprenger Avenue between Genesee and Doat streets. Re-Tree WNY has planted over 23,000 trees since 2006.
