Volunteer Day! Native Planting at Dune Harbor Park
Help Support Our Native Forests!
Did you know a single mature tree can provide habitat for wildlife, help prevent soil erosion, improve air quality, and capture thousands of gallons of stormwater throughout its lifetime? By planting native trees, volunteers help restore natural ecosystems, increase biodiversity, and create healthier habitats for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife.
