Portola Living Campus Tree Planting Day (Rain or shine!)

Come help kick-off a new Living Campus outdoor classroom and garden at Portola Elementary school! For this installation day, we will be planting the Portola Elementary orchard, consisting of 37 fruit trees representing 34 different varieties!  Volunteers ages 5+ welcome with adult supervision.  

Bring a water bottle, work gloves, and a spade-tipped shovel if you have one! 

This event will occur rain or shine.  Wear appropriate shoes and prepare to get muddy!

Tasks will include: 

• Preparing the soil

• Creating gopher cages for each tree

• Planting bare root and nursery trees

• Installing irrigation
