Volunteer on Arbor Day By Planting Trees

Help out an environmental organization on Arbor Day this year by planting and watering saplings.

The Pound Ridge Land Conservancy is calling for volunteers to come to Carolin’s Grove Preserve April 29 to assist in the planting of 200 tree and shrub saplings and, at the same time, learn about the needs of local wildlife.

A spokeswoman for the conservancy said the preserve was damaged during Hurricane Sandy and is slowly recovering.

The public work session has drop-in hours from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and is aimed at older students, families and community members of any age.

Carolin’s Grove Preserve’s main entrance is on Stone Hill Road, near the Pound Ridge Library. A second entrance at the Pound Ridge Elementary School’s rear parking lot is not accessible during school hours.

If you can’t make it on Arbor Day, other times may be scheduled by arrangement with Land Steward and Educator Krista Munger by calling 914-205-3533 or emailing to info@prlc.net.
