Urban Juncture Tree Planting

Located in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago, Urban Juncture is a group which revitalizes disinvested Black urban communities by rebuilding neighborhood commerce and supporting local partners. The Bronzeville Community Garden is located aross the street and is a close collaborator with the group.

We will be planting 11 trees to increase the tree cover and add edible tree species to the site, which will create much needed shade for community members and a local food source.

CRTI will provide training to help folks learn how to properly plant and care for trees. No experience is necessary and everyone is welcome! As a volunteer, you will work alongside the CRTI team and other fantastic volunteers to help us dig holes, plant trees, mulch, and water.

• Please wear long pants and close toed shoes
• Dress for the weather- we will plant rain or shine!
• Make sure to bring a full water bottle, snack, and sunscreen. We will take care of everything else!

We hope you join us and help contribute to the improvement of our local urban forests and making a difference in the community!
