Looking for something to do on Saturday morning? Need to fill some community service hours? Help TREEmendous Miami plant some trees!
This information is provided directly from the TREEmendous website:
When: Saturday, May 20, 2006
Where: Area east of South Miami (zip code 33143)
Time: 8:30 a.m. till about Noon
Meet: Jean Willis Park 7220 SW 61 Court, South Miami, FL (the park is just west of South Miami City Hall and Library) Look for the white vans.
TREEmendous Miami, an Adopt-a-Tree partner, is looking for volunteers to help plant trees for our elderly and disabled residents. This is a great opportunity to restore the canopy in our community and educate residents about the multiple benefits of trees.
Don’t worry, you will be taught how to properly plant and care for the trees! Volunteers will meet at 8:30 a.m. for an orientation session. We then divide into teams, each lead by an experienced TREEmendous Miami volunteer tree planter.
Our tasks are usually finished about noon and we gather back at the same pre-determined location to turn in paperwork and tools, issue Community Service Certificates, and share a few laughs about our morning labors. Bring sun screen, lots of water and a shovel/rake/gloves (if you don’t have any of these tools, we can provide them).
Recommended attire: closed-toe shoes, light weight long pants, long sleeved shirt, and a shade hat.
For more details and/or questions: call or e-mail Amy, Program Coordinator at 305-378-1863 or treemendousmiami [at] mail. [dot] com.
We need your help. Come on out and have a TREEmendous day in every way!

Hi, I work with a local organic Farm in Little Haiti. We provide many wonderful things for the community and we are continueing to expand our services to the community and others. Our goal is to be a representation to the community at large what it means to be self sustaining and living green. We are looking to plant lots of trees on the farm and would love to do something with you. We are looking for predominantly fruit trees. Please contact me and let me know what we can do together. thank you and have a beautiful day
