Southside ReLeaf is seeking volunteers to help us perform tree care maintenance on trees planted behind Boushall Middle School at their very special Moon Tree Dedication event. We will pull weeds and add beautiful, moisture-retaining mulch rings around the trees.

Boushall Middle School will be hosting their Moon Tree Dedication on Saturday, April 12 from 11 am - 1 pm. A Moon Tree is a tree whose seeds went to space. This event will be a true celebration, featuring food, a moon bounce, a DJ, gift card raffles, and more fun for the whole family. It is free to attend.

When?

We are seeking volunteers on April 12 from 10 am to 1 pm. Volunteers should plan to stay on-site for a minimum of 90 minutes, but feel free to arrive later or leave early if necessary! You will have the opportunity to attend the Moon Tree Dedication event, if desired.

Where?

T. C. Boushall Middle School: 3400 Hopkins Rd. Richmond, 23234

What should I bring?

Please wear long pants and closed toe shoes. Gloves will be provided, but feel free to bring your own pair. Dress for the weather. You may want to bring a long sleeve shirt for protection from bugs and scrapes. Snacks and water will be provided, but please bring your refillable water bottle.

 Do I need to sign up?

Yes! Please sign up to volunteer through CFengage. If you have any questions about this workday, please email Lisa at lisa@southsidereleaf.org.
