Grow Hammond - Community Volunteer Tree Planting

Join the Student Conservation Association and City of Hammond for a meaningful day of tree planting at Dowling Park in Hammond! This event is a fantastic opportunity to give back to your community while helping to improve the local environment by increasing the city’s tree canopy. Not only will your efforts contribute to a healthier, greener Hammond, but you'll also get the chance to meet like-minded individuals who care about sustainability, conservation, and community service.

Whether you're passionate about the environment or simply looking for a positive way to spend your day, this event is open to all and welcomes volunteers of all experience levels. It’s a great way to make new connections, learn more about urban forestry, and play a part in shaping a more sustainable future for your city.

Come ready to get your hands dirty, make a difference, and have fun while doing it. Every tree planted is a step toward a cleaner, greener, and more vibrant community. Don’t miss this chance to be part of something impactful—join us at Dowling Park and help grow Hammond's future!

We will provide:

• Gloves
• Tools

You will need to bring comfortable clothes to work in, a good pair of closed toed shoes, a good attitude and a friend! We will handle the rest!
