Mulch Madness

201 Central Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07307, USA

DESCRIPTION

Join us one day or both, 10 AM - 2 PM; Sat., Sept 14 & Sun., Sept 15.

Many trees in Pershing Field Park have the potential to live 80, 90, or even 200 years. But for them to get there they need your help. No experience necessary, we'll show you what to do. Gloves and tools provided.

You will be watering, laying mulch around trees, and putting up fencing. Come one day or both. Wear closed toe shoes and clothes that can get dirty.

Thanks to our sponsors, AT&T Pioneers and PFGF, there will be lunch for the volunteers. When you register, please be sure to indicate if you are staying for lunch.

Mulching correctly keeps weeds down, conserves soil moisture, and improves soil structure. It protects roots from extreme summer and winter temperatures and lessens tree damage from mowers and trimmers.
