River Day - Saturday, May 20, 2017 

Do you want to help care for the Cuyahoga River and the surrounding environment in Cuyahoga Valley National Park? Join your fellow volunteers in celebrating River Day on May 20 by planting native trees! Invite your friends, family, and coworkers to help preserve CVNP for future generations. Kids are welcome!

By planting trees, you are restoring the natural habitat of your national park and benefitting the Cuyahoga River environment and your community. You will use shovels to dig holes for native trees, hammer in stakes beside newly planted trees, and cover trees with deer tubes for protection. This project helps to fill in the tree canopy, creating less fragmented habitat for wildlife.

Native Tree Planting rates as a moderate to strenuous physical activity and requires the ability to hike 2 miles over uneven terrain. 

Volunteers who are 7-15 years of age must have parent or guardian supervision at the project site. Volunteers who are 16-18 years of age are only required to have a parent or guardian sign their volunteer agreement form. 

Advanced registration is required for all individuals. For groups of 5 or more individuals, please contact the volunteer office at 330-657-2299 or volunteer@forcvnp.org to register.
