Community Tree Planting - Carver Park

Come continue the Citico Creek riparian buffer restoration effort at Carver Park by planting trees with us in a new way: live staking! What does that mean? Live staking is the process of installing tree cuttings along a water's edge to prevent erosion. Instead of digging holes, live staking involves driving small segments of a tree into the ground. Under the right conditions, the segments will grow just like any other tree! In addition to live stakes, we're prepared to plant bare root trees during this event as well, which are a lot smaller than our typical container trees. This past fall, Southeast Conservation Corps and their Urban Forestry Crew planted the first live stakes along the creek. Sign up to set the next steps into motion!
