SUMMARY:Spring Adopt-a-Tree Treeplanting!
DESCRIPTION:Join us with your family and friends to adopt and plant trees at Riverbend.\nSpring is a wonderful time to plant trees\, just as the preserve is coming back to life.

This event is open to all ages. Please bring your own water and work gloves. \nThis is a Riverbend PAY WHAT YOU WISH Event: \nThe true cost to Riverbend to offer this educational event to the public is $35 per family. We recognize that for some families\, this is unaffordable. Therefore\, we invite you to choose the price you wish to pay for this event. In doing so\, you help make environmental education accessible to ALL children\, regardless of their family’s financial situation.
