The Sussex County Association of Realtors (SCAR), in partnership with and funded by the Lake Mohawk Preservation Foundation, is organizing a tree planting event along the Wallkill River Watershed to help preserve local water resources and raise awareness about water issues in New Jersey.
The tree planting will be from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 8 at 1547 County Road 565 in Sussex.
Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to participate.
“This is a great opportunity for gardening enthusiasts to come out and make a tangible difference in our community,” said Julie Fox, co-chairwoman of the SCAR Community Outreach Committee.
Jeannette Burke, co-chairwoman of SCAR Community Outreach, said, “I think it’s going to be a lot of fun! Volunteers don’t need to sign up for the entire day; there are morning and afternoon shifts available.”
Volunteers will be provided with shovels, work gloves and rubber boots.
