About the event
Calling all curious volunteers! At this work day, you'll learn about agroforestry, about food forests, and about how to plant trees and shrubs in a way that gives them the best chance to thrive. Plan to learn, dig, wait around a little between tasks, and have fun with a great crowd of people in UW Milwaukee Extension's productive Kohl Farm Community Garden.
This volunteer event will support the installation of an agroforestry demonstration site of 100+ trees and plants at Kohl Farm. Experienced professionals from Michael Fields Agricultural Institute and UW Milwaukee Extension will lead the day, teaching people about proper tree planting and care techniques. With your help, we'll be creating a a sustainable, low-input food system to nourish ourselves, heal the land, and create habitat for local wildlife.
This event is free to attend, but registration is important so we know how to plan the day.
