What can you do? Some great workday efforts are: Mulching trees and bare areas, weeding planting beds, planting trees, painting and cleaning playscapes, repairing trails, or removing trash.
These projects can make a huge difference. Did you know that trees that are mulched have 3 to 5 times more root growth than trees in grass? An inch of mulch in spring can make a huge difference to a tree's summer survival.
This year we are having a 'Best It's My Park Day Photo and Story' Contest with great prizes, including $50 gift certificates from REI! For more information, and to submit your Story or Photo go to the It's My Park Day 2011 Best Story & Photo Contest page.
Remember, register to volunteer by Wednesday, March 3, 2011!
