Each year, hundreds of volunteers join forces with Camden residents and the New Jersey Tree Foundation to dig holes, plant trees, lay mulch, and have fun at UARP planting events. Why not add your name to the list? To be added to the upcoming schedule, contact Jessica at 856.287.4488 or email at
jfranzini.njtf@gmail.com.
All tree planting events are held rain or shine. Volunteers are asked to arrive no later than 9am, though you can come as early as 8:15 am to help set up for the event. Plantings are typically finished by noon, some even earlier; it all depends on the number of trees we are planting that day and the number of volunteers!
Please dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes, and wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty.
Tools, gloves, water, and planting instruction are provided by the NJ Tree Foundation staff.
We look forward to seeing you this season!
