Weitzman School Day of Service with PennPraxis

Through their partnership with PennVet, PennPraxis has been designing and implementing a model agroforestry site to explore innovations in regenerative agricultural, horticulture, and ecological restoration. This Spring, we have an opportunity to contribute to their work by joining the team for a day of tree-planting at the New Bolton Center site. Afterwards, there will be an optional tour of the dairy farm and a picnic for participants. 

No prior experience is necessary—just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to get your hands dirty! Attendees are encouraged to wear casual clothes, layers, and closed-toe shoes. All tools, gloves, materials, and light snacks will be provided.
