SUMMARY:Lane Creek Planting
DESCRIPTION:This event is at capacity for volunteers! So registration is now closed.\nIf you would like to help plant trees at a future event\, sign-up for our Step to It newsletter\nCome help us plant 1000 native trees and shrubs along Lane Creek to make Mission a healthier and happier habitat for all living creatures!

However\, if you have your own gardening gloves you would rather use\, please feel free to bring them. \nPlease dress in closed-toed shoes\, long sleeves and long pants\, and come prepared to brave any kind of weather! \nChildren are welcome as long as they come with parental supervision. \nWe’ll be meeting at the back of the Mission Library parking lot at 9:00 a.m.
