Event Details:

Get your hands dirty and give back to Richmond Hill’s urban forest this summer! Join LEAF as we steward our naturalization site in Lake Wilcox Park. During this two-part stewardship event, we will first remove invasive species and follow-up by mulching native trees and shrubs. Register for one session or both!

Children under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

Invasive species removal will take place from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Mulching will take place from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Please note: Families with young children are encouraged to join the afternoon mulching session, as the morning invasive species removal session will be somewhat labour intensive.

Please wear:

• Closed-toe shoes or boots – no sandals, please!
• Long pants and sleeves are recommended
• Gardening gloves, if you have them (we will have extras)
• Appropriate clothing – the event runs rain or shine

Please bring multiple filled water bottles (there will be no water refill station on site).

This event will involve walking on unpaved paths and uneven grassy surfaces and tall plant growth. For accessibility questions, please contact sarah@yourleaf.org

All LEAF events count toward secondary school volunteer hour requirements.
