5 Things To Do During Earth Hour:

• Take a walk with family or friends

• Go star-gazing

• Meditate in the dark

• Have a real candlelit dinner

• Listen to acoustic music

• Plant a tree!

We will plant up to 400 tree seedlings at Simpkins Pond at Lake Wheeler to restore the ponds banks after invasive plant removal. Volunteers will plant bare root tree seedlings in a high density planting method (a lot of trees in a small space) and cage the trees to protect them from animals and make the planting more visible to humans. Tools and gloves will be provided.
