Greening Tully Fields with Our City Forest!

What You’ll Be Doing:

Join Our City Forest for a hands-on morning of greening the community! Volunteers will sheet mulch and maintain a new habitat planting along Coyote Creek.

No experience needed! We’ll provide tools, gloves, and guidance!

What to Bring to Volunteer:

• Closed-toed shoes/safe footwear (No crocs, sandals, flats, etc. White shoes NOT recommended). You will be turned away if footwear is deemed unsafe
• Proper work clothing that can get dirty (long pants are recommended, but make sure your attire is weather-appropriate)
• Mulching can produce a lot of dust. We highly recommend bringing eye protection (such as sunglasses) and mouth/nose protection (such as a disposable face mask, bandana, or other face covering).
• Appropriate sun or rain protection (sunscreen, hat, rain jacket, etc.)
• Water! Please bring plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated throughout the event
• Recommended: Gardening-type gloves (we’ll provide them if you don’t have them!)

If you arrive at the event without the above items, you may be turned away from volunteering due to safety reasons.

Age Recommendation:

This event is best suited for volunteers ages 13 and up. Younger participants are welcome to attend with an adult but may need extra supervision for safety. For elementary aged volunteers we ask that there is 1 adult for every 2 children if possible.

Getting Started:

Please plan to arrive on time for our demonstration at the beginning of the event. This is where you’ll learn how to sheet mulch safely and properly before getting hands-on in the field. Our team will continue to offer guidance and support throughout the event, so you’ll be in good hands even if it’s your first time.
