MulchFest 2008: Chip In! Mulch Your Tree! Help NYC Grow.

Saturday, Jan 05, 2008
10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Citywide

MulchFest provides New Yorkers an opportunity to bring their Christmas trees to designated sites where they are ground into wood chips. The chips can then be placed in tree pits and gardens.

Parks & Recreation encourages New Yorkers to help the environment and their community by participating in this event. MulchFest takes place on January 5 & 6, 2008 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring bags to take advantage of the free mulch provided.

Please note:
* All lights, ornaments, and decorations must be removed from the trees prior to drop-off.
* Participants will be able to take wood chips and/or mulch home from designated chipping sites. Mulch will not be available at sites marked as "Drop-off Only."
See here for other sites: http://nycgovparks.org/services/mulchfest/mulchfest.html

Once again we host the city-wide MulchFest with the NYC Department of Parks
and Recreation. Bring your tree, or help us get some. Bring a bag to take
home woodchip mulch for your garden or fire-escape.

We invite you to join us in giving active and loving care to our Brook
Park. We welcome both skilled and unskilled alike to join our team in
making improvements to our physical environment. Depending on needs at the
time and the uniqueness of the group, we will tackle a variety of tasks
and/or a joint project. Please join us for a fun period of service through
focused and joyful work.


Please let us know if you are intending to participate and
