Volunteers Needed For Howell Tree Planting Event Saturday

HOWELL, NJ — The Howell Shade Tree Commission is planting trees and shrubs on Saturday to create a community wildlife habitat at Easy Street Park.

The organization is looking for 30 volunteers to help with the work between noon and 4 p.m.

Registration will be open until all slots are filled. To sign up or ask any questions, email Ldoud3@gmail.com or dawnvanbrunt@gmail.com.

The planting day event will happen rain or shine. The area can be wet, so volunteers are encouraged to dress appropriately and wear waterproof shoes. They should also bring a shovel and gloves.

Water and refreshments will be provided.

Because parking will be limited, the organization suggested that volunteers carpool or arrange to be dropped off and picked up.

The location of the event is off Lakewood-Farmingdale Road. Turn onto Easy Street and the park is 0.25 on the left.
