Planting Together: VI Volunteers Wanted!

Volunteer tree planters = the foundation for Replant Virgin Islands initiative. As we gear up for summer months, our team looks forward to continuing the Replant Virgin Islands initiative. BirdsCaribbean, our initial sponsor, has encouraged volunteers to support Caribbean avian by planting a species mix at selected restoration sites. Private/public sessions will be available with announcements coming this week!

Volunteers plant to celebrate Martin Luther King Service Day, January 2020

Here’s a quick flashback from Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend. Unified Events managing director participated in a community-led tree planting. Hosted by the Citizens Committee to Save Elysian Park, LA Conservation Corps, City Plants and the LA Parks and Recreation Department. Definitely a feel good event. Volunteers planted 70 trees before lunch time! Check out details here.
