SUMMARY:Erwin Park Tree Planting\, ‘Shade the Trail’
DESCRIPTION:Where: Erwin Park\, 4300 Co Rd 1006\, McKinney\, TX 75071 \nWhen: November 4th\, 2023. 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM \nParking is available on site and will be marked. \nWhat we will be doing: Erwin Park is amidst change as many areas nearby the park are being developed. To help keep the trails comfortable for walking\, we plan to shade the new trail by planting trees. This is thanks to the City of McKinney’s Park and Recreation Department\, Development Department and their Tree Restoration funding. Trees are beneficial for wildlife\, increase the canopy (reducing heat) and increase privacy of walking trails. \nWe will be planting trees\, this would include labor like digging or filling holes and mulching. There will be about 75 trees to plant\, 30 – 45 gallon size trees. Any needed trail work will be a possible volunteer activity as well if there is time after the planting. To view the many ongoing projects at the park\, please check out this Google Earth Map of Erwin Park Trail Reroutes & Tree Planting \nWhat to bring: bring a signed waiver\, click here to fill out and print. Participants under age 18 need to have a guardian or parent sign the form. You will also need to have your own work gloves\, for this activity. Bring bug spray\, sunscreen\, and water. If you bring your own tools\, including trowels or shovels\, please have them marked so we know they are yours. Please see our Safety Guidelines for more information. \nWhat do I wear: Long pants\, long sleeves\, face covering\, and closed toed shoes or boots.
