FortWhyte Alive is holding a shoreline planting event on Sat., May 5 and everyone is welcome to participate. A volunteer at a similar event held last fall is shown.
Volunteers will be provided with gloves and planting tools, and will take part in the planting, gaining skills that they can use to remediate riverside or lakeside property.
Participants should wear rubber boots, and long pants and sleeves.
After work is done, enjoy bannock over the fire, and stick around to participate in a fun kids’ craft of willow crowns from 1 to 3 p.m., while supplies last.
