Join us Thursday, September 24, 6-8 p.m. at Dakota County’s newest park, 456-acre Whitetail Woods Regional Park.

Volunteers will install and tend to tree tubes, helping to protect seedlings planted this spring. In addition to protecting the young trees from rabbits and deer, the tubes will shelter them from high winds and create a sort of microclimate to help them make it through their first winter.  

Space is limited and registration required. For more information, including how to sign-up, visit: http://fmr.org/events/2015/09/24/woodland-tree-tending.
